A 25-year-old comic book illustrator was arrested Monday on suspicion of molesting one of his fans, the police said. Sho Meguru Ishii of Tsurumi Ward, Yokohama, who also works as a computer programmer, allegedly molested the 15-year-old high school girl at a hotel in Kohoku Ward in the city four times from November through December, according to the investigators. At the time, the girl was a third-year middle school student. When the girl posted an entry on his blog in September, Ishii allegedly said he would meet her at the hotel if paid him 150,000 yen "to prove she loved him."
