As I write this, here are the top 4 JT headlines in the crime section:
What is it about Japan and perversion, especially this pedophile predilection for young girls?
HollisBrown
There is clearly a huge pedophile problem in japan, and it's scandalous that more isn't done to address it.

@Disillusioned, you we were right. Still the rest of today +Sat/Sun.
Heh. Another sicko who probably likes manga featuring sexual images of children.
TheGodfather
But of course he doesn't SELL THE ITEMS ON to other perverts at a huge profit because...
Japan is a law-abiding country with a low-crime rate!! :-)

More of a creep along the lines of Radiohead's version, not TLC's version.

This guy needs to get a better job so he can buy his own JH kid's underwear.

These men (never heard of women doing it) are known as "snowdroppers" in Australia. They creep around at night stealing from clothes lines. It's a very common type of perversion--not only in japan!
lostrune2
Why steal 'em when he can pay for 'em, the girls or the clothes?!

If there was a offender register list, I wonder what would be the overlap between that and a list of manga / light novel writers?

Government work's nice if you can get it. 6-month suspension! vs immediate termination in private sector!

It would be better if he would have bought them.
