The game console helped a Japanese schoolgirl escape from captivity

A teenage girl who was captured by a 44-year-old man was able to escape thanks to his connected game console. The incident was reported by the Japanese press.

Last month, the parents of a schoolgirl from Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, drove her to the train station so that she could spend the day freely, but she did not return in the evening, and later the connection with her was completely cut off.

As it later became known, the young lady went to Tokyo’s Shinjuku area, where she met Hiroyasu Goto, a 44-year-old man whom she met through social networks. He then took her to his home, where he took her phone away from her and tied her to a metal pipe in his living room.

Fortunately, the girl found a way to call for help, in which she was helped by a game console with access to the Internet, which the kidnapper allowed her to use. Through a gaming device, the schoolgirl contacted the online emergency services of the Saitama Prefecture Police Department, sending an email saying, “I am being held and I cannot escape.”

The police who arrived at the scene released the girl, who had no visible traces of injuries, and the abductor was arrested. During the arrest, he said: “There is no mistake that I captured her.”

The name of the console, which helped the girl to free herself, was not specified.
