A 49-year-old woman in Tokyo has been arrested, after it was discovered that she had coerced three youths who had been hanging out at her home, to beat up and rob a man.
According to police, Hiromi Inoue, an unemployed resident of Tsukishima in Tokyo, allegedly goaded the three boys, aged 16 to 18, to steal a 28-year-old man's bag on May 14, Fuji TV reported.
With Inoue watching, the three boys approached the man as he walked along a street and when he tried to resist, Inoue had the kids assault him, police said. The gang made off with the bag containing about 12,000 yen in cash.
The man suffered injuries that took two weeks to recover from, police said.

Hanging out at her home? All up to no good obviously. Disturbing to say the least.

Is there such a charge of corrupting minors here?
Child abuse may cover this perhaps ?

Sounds like another "mind control" incident. Time to get her butt off the streets.

What did the cops do to the kids? They should all be arrested.

May be she is asking them to pay her for the herb she supply..

Yes, obviously the three punks are completely without blame because this 49 yo cretin "coerced" them.

Other than one of the criminals being the child of Hiromi if not I wonder what they got out of the deal from hanging around her?
