Japanese man charged with indecent exposure after serving own genitals to paying guests
A Japanese man who cooked and served his severed genitals to paying diners in Tokyo has been has been charged with indecent exposure, a website reported.
The man who goes by name of "Mao Sugiyama," and who identified himself as an "asexual illustrator," had his penis and testicles surgically removed in March, News on Japan reported.
The genitalia, which had been certified free of sexually transmitted diseases, were frozen before being served to paying guests on May 13.
Photographs show Sugiyama fully dressed at the event, which was reportedly attended by about 70 "diners" who paid 20,000 yen (approximately £158) for the meal.
Sugiyama and three friends who helped at the event were charged with indecent exposure, following a complaint from the mayor of the Suginami area of Tokyo, where the dining experience took place. They could face two years in prison and/or a fine up to 2.5 million yen ($32,000) each.
No comments were available from diners.
No law against cannibalism exists in Japan, partly explaining why the diners were not charged.
Issei Sagawa, a Japanese man and ate body parts from a Dutch woman he killed in a Paris apartment in 1981 has been a free man in Japan since 1986, after being extradited from France and declared sane by a Japanese hospital.
