Netizens stunned by beauty of arrested girls bar employee

The Japanese interweb is raving over Ai Tano (田野和彩), a 21-year-old employee at a girls bar in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

Netizens are beside themselves at how in the images of her doing the perp walk for the media, she looks just like a model or celebrity (we think there’s something of Mei Nagano about her). Talk about a femme fatale!

Ms. Tano’s attractive face aside, we’re not going to sugarcoat this: she’s accused of a very unpleasant crime. As detailed by Tokyo Reporter, Tano faces of charge of forcing a colleague to engage in sex work in Okubo Park, currently a hub for street prostitution.

It is alleged that she and E-Wave Morning’s manager, 39-year-old Maoya Suzuki, used a GPS device to track the 27-year-old employee and monitor if she was at the park near the Kabukicho district of Shinjuku. The woman was also made to sleep at the bar while prostituting herself to 400 men in three months, though almost all the money was allegedly paid to Suzuki.

The pimping followed alleged physical abuse by Suzuki, who is said to have hit the victim with a champagne bottle due to poor sales at the bar.

Readers with long memories may also remember how the interweb swooned for Yuka Takaoka, the “too beautiful” young woman who stabbed her host boyfriend. A great example of what’s known as a landmine girl — someone who seems cute and lovely, but is liable to explode!

Takaoka’s case inspired the inevitable porn parody. We wonder if Tano will get a similar treatment. Either way, when she gets released, she will surely have modeling offers.
