Masahiro Yoshida was away working when his ex-wife left suddenly with their 2-year-old daughter in 2008. Following this, his ex-wife made three claims of domestic violence against him. The courts carried out no investigation into the veracity of these claims, even though his daughter was living nearby in Yokohama. He lost parental custody (shinken) two years later, having not seen his daughter for all that time. After a period of reconciliation, he was again denied access to his daughter. When he tried to take her out of nursery school, he was arrested and held for 23 days on charges of kidnapping. He has met his daughter only a few times during the past four and a half years.Yoshida-san is currently be held in Matsuyama prison awaiting trial for attempting to abduct his daughter.

吉田正広の娘が２歳０ヶ月の時、仕事に行っている間に突然連れ去りにあった。その後、冤罪DVを３回も出され、裁判所は子どもが横浜に住んでいたにも関わらず、一度も調査しなかった。子どもに会えないまま２年後親権を失った。その後相手方から復縁の話まで出たが、突然子どもに会わせなくなった為、保育園から連れ出したら警察に逮捕され「誘拐犯」となり２３日間拘留。４年半の間に数回しか会えていない。
