Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested six teenagers aged 14 to 16, including a 9th grade girl,
this past Wednesday in connection with a September gang fight in Tokyo’s Adachi Ward.
The girl is said to have befriended a 15-year-old boy after a friend introduced them in August.
They started a texting relationship via LINE. Then the girl told to boy via LINE that she
wanted to go steady.
The boy said no, and the girl flew into a rage and called on 20 underage friends to
give him a beat down.
The boy got 13 underage friends to back him up, but the girl’s larger gang got the better
of them in the ensuing fight.
Five teens sustained broken noses and other injuries.
The girl denied all charges against her during questioning, claiming that she had never met
the boy before. So what happened?
Would you want to date someone you had never met in person?
