Back in August, a jobless man in his sixties from Shizuoka, Japan, wrapped his 1.7-meter tall, 50-kilogram silicone sex doll in a sleeping bag, drove into the woods, and dumped her. A short time later, a couple stumbled upon the body - bound around the neck, waist and ankles - while walking their dog and alerted police.

Via Pink Tentacle, we read, “Police retrieved the body and immediately launched a criminal investigation. But several hours later, when forensic pathologists began to unwrap the “corpse” to perform the post-mortem, they realized it was actually a state-of-the-art sex doll. Seeing themselves as victims of a malicious prank, the authorities vowed to track down the perpetrator and charge him with interfering with police business.”

The story quickly made national and international headlines. After seeing the news reports, the culprit succumbed to his own guilt and turned himself in to police. Apparently, he’d lived with the doll for several years, but decided to part from her after electing to move back in with his family. Rather than chop her up and toss her out with the trash, he dumped her illegally. The man now faces fines for violating waste management laws.
