TOKYO, Japan – A former school principal who allegedly paid
for sex with 12,000 women while in the Philippines has been arrested in
Japan, over claims at least one of them was as young as 13, media
reported Wednesday.
Yuhei Takashima had meticulously catalogued nearly 150,000
photographs of his 
exploits over a 27-year period in around 400 separate
albums because he wanted “to keep the memories”, Jiji Press and other
media said.

Takashima, aged 64, told police he started paying for sex when he was
dispatched to a Japanese school in Manila in 1988, Jiji said.
Thereafter, the former middle-school principal had been on three sex
tours a year to the country, for a total of 65 visits, reports said.
During this time, he had sex with more than 12,000 women, who broadcaster NTV reported were aged between 14 and 70.
No report gave a breakdown of how long the tours were or how many
women he slept with on each one, however it averages out at more than
one a day every day of his life since his first visit.
Takashima told police that about 10 percent of the women were under 18 years old, Jiji said, citing unnamed police sources.
He was arrested for having sex with a girl in Manila last year
believed to be 13 or 14, under powers police have to prosecute certain
crimes committed abroad, Jiji said.
