Japanese national team member Sano Kaishu (23) was arrested on sexual assault charges just over 10 days after confirming his entry into Europe. Japan's Kyoto News Agency reported on the 17th that Sano was arrested by police for sexually assaulting a woman at a hotel in Tokyo with two other men in their 20s.
Sano and two men in their 20s are accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 30s together at a hotel in Bunkyo-gu, Tokyo, early on the 14th. The woman reported to the police immediately after the damage, and the police found three suspects, including Sano, on the street near the hotel, interrogated them, and arrested them that night.
The suspects, including Sano, reportedly had dinner with the victim and the victim's friend before the incident. The victim's friend reportedly returned home before the incident.
Sano, a defensive midfielder, moved to Mainz in the German Bundesliga from Kashima Antlers in the J1 League on the 3rd. The contract is for four years. Lee Jae-sung is playing for Mainz, so he was interested in the Korea-Japan midfield combination.
However, he had a major accident before he even joined. Mainz is also on alert. Germany's 'Built' reported that Japan's Sano was arrested for sexual assault on the verge of preseason training for Mainz. He is paying keen attention to the news from Japan.
Kashima, his former team, said, `Sano's transfer process to Mainz has already been completed, but the club is also very concerned because it is about his former player.' `We will keep an eye on the future investigation because the details of the matter cannot be grasped due to the nature of the matter.'
Sano made his professional debut with J League 2 Machida Zelvia. After moving to Kashima last year, he succeeded in advancing to Europe in a season and a half.
In addition, Sano, who was selected for the A national team last year, also joined the Qatar Asian Cup. He played in four A matches.
