Overview
Daniel connected on Mixi with a married 32-year-old Japanese woman while Daniel was 24, leading to daily chats about Daniel's artwork and an eventual in-person meeting in Japan.
After an initial dinner meeting alongside the woman's husband, Daniel and the woman met one-on-one in Shinjuku, visited a karaoke room, and began an affair at a love hotel.
Over three months, Daniel and the woman spent at least 40 nights at love hotels funded entirely by her, while her husband was told they were drinking or at karaoke.
The woman characterized her marriage as loveless and sexless, had severe burn scars from a suicide attempt, and self-described suffering from depression treated with heavy medication, at times pacing the room and expressing a desire to die following sexual encounters.
Daniel ended the affair upon returning to the UK, declining her offer of 4,000 pounds for a return visit, and later traveled back to Japan that year to stay with another woman.
