On 25 November 1988, Miyano and his friend Nobuharu Minato wandered around Misato with the intention of robbing and raping local women.

At 8:30 pm, they spotted Furuta cycling home after she finished her part-time job. Under Miyano's orders, Minato kicked Furuta off her bicycle and immediately fled the scene.

 Miyano, under the pretense of it being a coincidence that he had witnessed this attack, approached Furuta and offered to walk her home safely.

Furuta, accepting this offer, was unaware that Miyano was leading her to a nearby warehouse, where he revealed his yakuza connections.

Miyano threatened to kill her as he raped her in the warehouse and once again in a nearby hotel.

From the hotel, Miyano called Minato and his other friends, Jō Ogura and Yasushi Watanabe, and bragged to them about the rape.

Ogura reportedly asked Miyano to keep her in captivity in order to allow numerous people to sexually assault her.

The group had a history of gang rape and had recently kidnapped and raped another girl who was released afterward.
