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

Why steal 'em when he can pay for 'em, the girls or the clothes?!

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!

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

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

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!! :-)

@Disillusioned, you we were right. Still the rest of today +Sat/Sun.
Heh. Another sicko who probably likes manga featuring sexual images of children.

There is clearly a huge pedophile problem in japan, and it's scandalous that more isn't done to address it.

What is it about Japan and perversion, especially this pedophile predilection for young girls?
