A former school principal in Japan who allegedly paid for sex with 12,700 women in the Philippines, including minors, was arrested last Wednesday, police told NBC News. Yuhei Takahashi, 64, was arrested for filming sex acts and producing child porn with minors between the ages of 13 and 14 at a hotel in Manila in January 2014. Police searched his home and found about 400 photo albums containing images of over 12,000 women in their teens and some as old as in their 70s, according to the Asahi Shimbum daily newspaper. The pictures are believed to have been taken over the course of 20 years during his visits to the Philippines when he taught at a Japanese school there, the report said. Takahashi told police that deviating from "moral behavior" gave him a "sense of freedom," the newspaper reported.
