Last December, former AV actress Risa Coda (23) was given a suspended sentence after being found guilty of drug possession. She was later arrested again for the same offense, and on April 15, she was put on trial again.

In November, Coda and tennis player Joji Miyao (27) were both arrested for the use and possession of marijuana and stimulants. Coda, whose real name is Arisa Kikuchi, was originally given an 18-month sentence, suspended for three years. However, prosecutors argued that she resumed using the drugs just a month later, indicating the need for actual punishment.

The prosecution requested a 2-year prison term, but on Wednesday the judge delivered a sentence of 16 months.

During the hearing last week, it was learned that Coda is apparently engaged when her fiance gave testimony in court that helped show Coda's remorse. According to the testimony, the two had dated for a year when they were teenagers, and they got back together last December after Coda's first arrest.
