Police have arrested an 18-year-old boy for having sex with a 17-year-old girl, charging him with child prostitution.
Tochigi police charged the 18-year-old schoolboy with child prostitution after he “knowingly” (in fact it is illegal whether known or unknown) promised to pay ¥10,000 to a 17-year-old schoolgirl for sex, which the couple subsequently engaged in.
Police report that he admits the charges. Once convicted, he faces a maximum of 5 years in prison and a fine of no more than ¥3,000,000.
Online the Japanese are as usual unable to comprehend the application of their own often bizarrely applied sex crime laws:
“What was wrong with this? If you can arrest him for this, everyone’s going to be arrested.”
“I don’t understand why someone would pay a girl their own age for sex.”
“I don’t get it. Was it the money changing hands which caused problems? Why not just offer her a meal?”
“If he was arrested without actually having paid her anything it is pretty harsh.”
“It’s a crime even if you don’t pay them. Really messed up law.”
“If you’re 18, do it normally!”
“I suppose they should just arrest everyone under 18 who has had sex.”
“No wonder our birth rate is so low.”
“This is just sad. Don’t young people in this country have any freedom?”
“Get cheated by a whore and you can expect to go to jail.”
“[Quoting the letter of the law] The chil prostitution laws define a child as anyone under 18, so if you pay for sex with them…”
“The problem was that he paid for it. If he had done her for free they wouldn’t have arrested him.”
“Give her a present in exchange for sex = no problem.
Give her money in exchange for sex = be arrested.
So just give her gift certificates in future.”
“Presents count as compensation for the purposes of the law.
You can’t give her so much as a strap for her mobile phone.”
“So buying a girl a meal and taking her to a hotel is a crime?”
“This makes any dating where you buy someone a meal prostitution.”
“So practically all minors who are dating are guilty of child prostitution as they have given gifts to each other?”
“Another prostitute playing the victim card to get a guy arrested.”
“Why don’t they ever arrest the seller as well?”
“This is like busting the buyer in a drug deal but letting the seller go every time.”
“They should arrest the girl too, it’s not like he violated her. For all we know she may have pressured him into agreeing.”
“So if the ages were reversed, they’d arrest her? I wonder.”
“So now we have 18-year-olds paying each other for sex. You’re supposed to coax them into it!”
“I can kind of understand some old guy doing this, but an 18-year-old doing it is just sad…”
“The 18-year-old kid probably said he’d pay her but didn’t, so the 17-year-old slut tattled on him to the cops.”
“For ¥10,000 you could just go to a soapland…”
“If it was Tochigi they don’t have trains or anything there, he could have just been paying her travel expenses. Imagine having to take a 15km taxi ride into another town.”
“Kind of strange to ban money changing hands but allow things like Christmas presents.”
“What’s important is how this came to light. Did she rat on him after a problem with payment? Or did they get busted using a deaikei site?”
“She might have got herself busted from other customers and only then did he come to light when she shopped them all in to police.”
“And to think you can marry girls at 16.”
You lot have got the wrong end of the stick here. He was busted for exchanging something for sex with a JK [high school girl]. If they were really dating it wouldn’t be a problem. Even a 50-year-old dating a JK would be OK.”
“That’s not true – I know a guy who was in his early twenties and dated a JK, and after they split she hated him and reported him to police and they arrested him. The sex itself was a crime. He could never trust women after that.”
“Enko amongst actual school kids is just sad. Do it once you’ve become some fat old guy. For boys it’s supposed to be free.”
“School kids buying and selling one another. Sad.”
See now in MY country, we really don’t give a damn how old they are as long as it’s what we call ‘consensual’, meaning both parties agree. After like.. 13 or 14 of course… and even earlier, in most cases, as long as it’s agreed on by BOTH parties.
The Age of Consent is basically used as a law for r♥♥e charges. The further you are from it, the worse the r♥♥e charges. (Legally, it’s the age in which you’re SUPPOSED to be able to have sex… but again, nobody really gives a damn anyways) Child prostitution.. yeeeah, we tend to be heavy on that but really, who isn’t. And again; if both parties agree on it.. what’s the harm, exactly?
And now I’m gonna be flamed for being an American. When I’m not. I’m Canadian.
I think the whole age thing is stupid nature is fucking nature the # 1 thing in life for “ANY” species is to perpetuate its self when girl first enters “Menarche” or the first menstrual cycle that about 12-14 years old it varies they have the possibility of fertility by laws of nature thats an acceptable age to start reproducing this is where human logic and there sense of right and wrong comes into play There to young, you need to be 18, there not mentally mature enough, they’ll have mental scaring or they don’t know what sex or pregnancy is or doesn’t understand it thats because there to be taught this a t this age or at this time or when its convenience when or where did this way of thinking come from it was not always there.
O Let me ask the readers this Very important question I have pondered for a many of years and its something i live by now. What is Truly Right and wrong? My answer: There is no such thing why u wonder because everyone has there own way some may be the same or similar and some so completely different. when your born you are taught what is right and wrong based on what they believe or what someone else believes its grinned into you since day one eventually it reaches a point that you think you truly believe something but do you really Ex. Thou shall not kill another human Why? is it because there human? because they have a family?
these reasons are given over years subconsciously these reasons factor in on what you think is right and wrong so is it truly your reasoning or are these factors influencing your decision?. Another thing right and wrong are also influenced by numbers Numbers? and the ones that get the biggest numbers win a spot on right and the smallest one on wrong if 10,000 say murder is bad and 5,000 says its good who wins? who loses? id say the 10000 but there both winners the 5000 thinks there right and the 10000 are wrong and vise versa. anyone whose views are different than theres or conflicts with theres are outcasts there the bad guy and should be punished hence where rules and laws come in to keep and make the smaller groups follow the bigger groups will. Do they keep order sure i believe so if everyone thought like this I’m sure there would be allot of conflicts between people. all in all its a majority rule world and i hate how it can make some suffer for someone else’s views
That motherfucker should get stripped in public, then jumped by some ninjer muthafuckas.
Is it just me or are Japanese police the ultimate cock blockers?
and they wonder why Japanese have such low birth/sex rates!
