Japanese Cabinet minister may be women’s panties thief
We’ve been holding back on this story to see how it developed. No fireworks yet, but it’s still juicy.
Does women’s used panties fetish go right to the heart of government in Japan?
A Cabinet minister stands accused by a tabloid magazine of stealing female panties.
The newly appointed Tsuyoshi Takagi is minister in charge of Tohoku reconstruction but weekly tabloid Shukan Shincho says he is a suspect in a very different kind of role: as the theive of a young woman’s underwear.
According to Shukan Shincho, Takagi snuck into a house some 30 years ago win Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture. There he allegedly stole clothing belonging to a woman in her twenties.
Of course, Takagi’s office in Tokyo and Fukui (where he is from) are not commenting.
The magazine’s source is the victim’s sister, unnamed. Police took it seriously, interrogating Takagi after the incident. However, for reasons undisclosed, they did not charge him with panty-pinching.
He is now into his sixth term as a lawmaker for the LDP. It seems that politicians in Japan sometimes have more interesting “careers” than we might think!
