According to Japanese media such as FNN, Tokyo police arrested Nakamura, a 72-year-old taxi driver, on charges of sexual assault and are investigating him.
Nakamura picked up a drunk female passenger in her 20s in Adachi-gu, Tokyo, during a taxi operation in May.
She told Nakamura that she wanted to die and shared her personal concerns.
Nakamura responded by pretending to comfort her, saying, `A cute child like you should not die.'
Nakamura, who dropped the woman off near the house, said, "I'll listen to you more."The taxi was moved to a nearby parking lot, where he allegedly committed sexual assault.
The victim later confessed the case to her family, and the police launched an investigation with the family's report.
Nakamura admitted sexual activity in police investigation, but he thought the other party agreed", denying the allegations of sexual assault.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, another taxi driver was arrested in Japan for sexually assaulting dozens of female passengers for more than a decade.
The article's mobile phone stored illegal videos that had been filmed since 2008.
The incident is again raising awareness of safety issues and sexual crime responses in the taxi industry in Japan, and is even more criticized for exploiting the victim's drinking condition and mental vulnerability.
