Police arrested three men after allegedly forcing a teenage girl to have sex with 60 men, police in Japan said.

 Tokyo police said that they have arrested 20-year-old Aomi Morita, after he and two other men forced the 16-year-old girl to have sex with numerous men over a period of 40 days.

Morita charged the men 20,000 yen to have sex with the runaway girl. The girl was kept in an apartment, and was never allowed to leave.

Morita denied the allegations, saying that the girl made up the story. Morita took the girl to a cemetery, where he threatened to cut off her hands and bury her in cement if she calls the police.

The abuse came to light after the girl managed to secretly use a customer's phone to call the police.
