A very interesting read I had on mainichi, an 18 year boy was arrested for running a prostitution ring.

The boy, who is originally from Yamaguchi Prefecture and is enrolled in a correspondence high school course there, took a leave of absence from school in 2009 and traveled to Tokyo. He began a prostitution brokering business based on information he gained from sex industry magazines, and is believed to have made some 10 million yen in sales in about a year, police say.

The 18-year-old was arrested on charges of brokering a sex-for-money exchange between a 14-year-old junior high school girl and a 38-year-old male client at a hotel in Tokyo’s Taito Ward. The man has been fined 500,000 yen for violating the child prostitution law.

According to police, the boy, who had transferred from a private prep school to a correspondence course, explained, “I wanted to make a lot of money and get even with my former classmates.”

The boy found prostitution jobs for about 25 women in the past year, most of whom were 14 to 17 years old. He invited women to contact him via mobile phone networking sites, saying he would provide them with lucrative work.

How he promoted his business is pretty cool;

he attracted male customers by posting messages on dating sites posing as girls, with messages such as “I’m young. I wear a school uniform.”

I guess saying “I’m young. I wear a school uniform” does the trick.
