Japanese star Oshio Manabu
was indicted Monday over his
role in the death of a woman
in August last year.
The woman, 30-year-old
bar employee Kaori Tanaka,
was given the synthetic drug
MDMA by Oshio and then
left to die in an apartment in
Tokyo’s upmarket Roppongi
district on Aug. 2 last year,
according to prosecutors.
.
.
Oshio has been charged
after failing to act to save
the woman’s life.
.
.
The trial for the former star
will take place in a trial under
Japan’s new lay-judge system,
and will be one of the most
high- profile cases since the
legal changes came into
effect last August.
.
.
In December,
Oshio was charged
with giving the drug,
which has the
street name Ecstasy,
to the woman.
He was also charged and
given a suspended sentence
in November for taking
the drug himself.
.
.
In the late summer
and autumn last year,
Japanese media was dominated
by reports of drug abuse by
Oshio and also Noriko Sakai,
who was found to have taken
drugs by prosecutors just
days after Oshio’s arrest.
