Kyodo News agency quoted police as saying Mr Shibuya told the woman that she would be made into "mincemeat" if she did not live with him. Mr Shibuya is reported to have denied threatening anyone. He did admit living with a harem, telling public broadcaster NHK: "Yes, we have a polygamous setup in my house." | short pause while I think about a harem of Japanese girls....sigh....now we're back.. |
It was not clear whether Mr Shibuya was breaking the law in his domestic set-up. Polygamy is illegal in Japan, but Mr Shibuya reportedly married some of the women then later divorced them. |
