A 43-year-old unemployed woman from Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, has been charged with indecent assault on a 15-year-old boy after confining him in her apartment and ordering six teenagers to abuse him, prosecutors said.

According to the indictment, Okino and the teenagers held the victim at knifepoint in the apartment for about three hours early Oct. 9.
