Conversation: Tokyo court orders dating app cheater to pay damages NHK

A: Turns out, yes! A Tokyo court ruled that he must pay about 1.5 million yen in damages to a woman from Kanagawa Prefecture. He deceived her and gave her emotional distress.
B: Whoa, that sounds serious. Did they find out he had a disease too?

A: It's not confirmed, but the court noted that possibility. The woman sued him for about 50,000 dollars when she found out he was married and a father. Crazy!

A: Yeah, seems so. But remember, always be careful and honest, okay?
B: Agreed, man. Let's keep an eye out for each other! 🤝
