Cheating Japanese husbands caught out by their mobiles

Bad news for adulterous men: your phone could land you in hot water. A survey of 300 businessmen by Japanese magazine Shukan Post claims that 74% have cheated on their wives at least once, but of those, 35.8% had been caught out. And of those, mobile phones were the cause in 22.5% of cases, ahead of tell-tale perfume scent or actually being caught in the act.

“In my research, too, mobile phones were overwhelmingly the main reason men’s affairs have been discovered,” author Sanae Kameyama tells the mag. “It’s common sense to wipe out your call history and records of who you’ve called, but plenty of people are nabbed when their phones are checked. Women know that the easiest way to check on their husbands is to take a look at their mobile phone records.”
