According to the Hokkaido Prefectural Police's Hakodate Chuo Police Station, the case came to light after the center reported the girl missing on June 7. The suspect's involvement in the case emerged from interviews with staffers and security camera footage.

She has admitted to the allegations, reportedly telling police, "That's all true. I regret my thoughtless words and actions." The Hokkaido Prefectural Government commented, "We are working to fully understand the facts and will take a strict response."
