A 48-year-old Tokyo man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of molesting a Canadian woman three years ago and will also be questioned in connection with the recent disappearance of a British bar hostess, police said.

Joji Ohara, president of a real estate firm based in Tokyo's Minato Ward and owner of properties in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, is suspected of taking the Canadian woman to one of his Kanagawa condominiums, drugging her and molesting her about three years ago, police said.

Ohara is denying all accusations.
