A Japanese man has been arrested after reportedly dating more than 35 women at the same time.

 

Takashi Miyagawa, a part-time worker, is being investigated for allegedly defrauding dozens of women by pretending he was serious about each of their relationships and receiving hundreds of pounds worth of gifts from them.

 

He was apparently caught out when the women joined forces to create a victims’ association after discovering his extensive infidelity and reported him to the police, according to local media.

 

Among the claims is that he gave each woman a different date for his birthday, ensuring a constant stream of gifts throughout the year.

 

One 47-year-old woman reportedly thought his birthday was on February 22, another aged 40 was told it was July, while another 35-year-old believed his birthday was in April.

In total, he allegedly received around 100,000 yen (£668) worth of gifts from the women, including a £200 suit.

1. How is this even a crime?

2. How did he date so many women and didn't even get that much money?

Guy needs to become a motivational speaker on how to date women.

One of my exes dated a married guy for a year before she figured out he was married.  I had so many questions that I didn't ask.

Also admiring them referring to a guy who was dating 35 women at once as "a part-time worker".

Total value of 35+ gifts was less than $1k. Evil but not so genius.

DMX (RIP) did the same thing except he ended up $18M in debt for child support.

 

Your mileage may vary.

In Japan, it's a crime to lie to women about the seriousness/exclusivity of your dating relationship to get birthday gifts.

 

Meanwhile, in America....

Yeah, I’m confused on how that’s even a crime....
