The organizers and two participants of an orgy party involving over 120 people were arrested in central Japan.
Teruaki Tabuchi, 54, and Saeko Kato, 51, from Chiba Prefecture were arrested by the Shizuoka Prefectural Police on suspicion of assisting public indecency on Tuesday.
Tabuchi, a self-defense officer, and Kato, a nurse, organized the orgy party at a rental villa in Kosai, Shizuoka Prefecture, and recruited individuals online under the event title “Reiwa 4 Year (2022) Hamanako Festival.” The participation fee for the event from June 11 to June 12 was 10,000 yen (approximately $74) per person.
Police arrived at the event on Sunday after an anonymous report was sent to the National Police Agency. They found about 70 people who were either sleeping or eating inside the villa.

There were reportedly around 120 to 130 men and women participants whose ages varied from those in their 20s to their 50s. However, it was noted that there were more participants in their 40s and 50s.
In addition to the organizers, the police arrested Toshiya Kamei, a 52-year-old businessman, and Shizuka Sato, a 34-year-old vocational school student, for allegedly hugging each other while naked. Some other participants were also escorted by police cars.
“A number of people were naked and tangled in the lodging facility and engaged in lewd acts,” the police reportedly said. “It seems that an orgy party was held at the same time and place last year as well.”
