M, the manager of a bookstore in the suburbs of Tokyo, had been troubled by an increasing number of shoplifting incidents. As a countermeasure, he resorted to an extremely irregular method: luring female students caught stealing into his office, forcing them into lewd acts under the condition of not reporting them to the police, and secretly filming everything with hidden cameras. While this practice was justified under the pretext of reducing shoplifting, it concealed serious misconduct and human rights violations behind the scenes.
