The National Bureau of Investigation in Central Visayas (NBI 7) arrested a 69-year-old Japanese tourist who’s accused of trafficking and raping a minor.
Yoshiyo Morino was with a 15-year-old girl and clad in only his boxer shorts when he was arrested inside a room at the Queensland Motel along Gen. Maxilom Avenue at 3:30 p.m. last Wednesday.
This was the third time Morino brought the minor to a motel after meeting her for the first time last Feb. 23.
The suspect allegedly met the minor in an online dating site.
The girl stated that she was 19 years-old on her profile.
Morino admitted that he had sex with her the second time they met, but that he didn’t force her into it.
