Policewoman resigns after being reprimanded for moonlighting in sex industry
A policewoman in Shimonseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, has resigned after she was reprimanded for working part-time at a fuzoku (sex industry) establishment.
Yamaguchi prefectural police said this week that the officer, whose age and name were withheld, had worked at a commercial sex business in Fukuoka between September and November last year, earning about 80,000 yen, Sankei Shimbun reported.
Police said they learned about the policewoman’s extracurricular activities from an anonymous tip in December. She was quoted by police as saying she needed extra money for living expenses.
The policewoman was given an official reprimand and pay cut for one month on Dec 18. However, she resigned the same day.
