Ex-Japanese adult film actress in intensive care after alleged drugging in Hong Kong

Former Japanese adult film actress Mao Hamasaki was admitted to an intensive care unit in Hong Kong after being allegedly drugged while working at a club in Tsim Sha Tsui on Sunday morning. Her manager posted on Facebook that she was found in a wheelchair and being taken to an ambulance, stating "drugged while working". Hamasaki had been performing as a disc jockey at various clubs until early Sunday morning.

Her manager later reported that she tested positive for four types of drugs and that police were investigating the case. He expressed regret for her situation, attributing it to his negligence. It is alleged that Hamasaki unknowingly consumed a drugged drink. Police were initially unresponsive, but the manager threatened to "find triads to resolve the problem," leading to a deployment of officers.

The incident was reported to the Hong Kong police at 4:57 am, and Hamasaki was transported to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei. She had retired from the adult film industry in 2024 and had recently appeared in a television drama.
