Police in Nagoya have arrested a 29-year-old man on suspicion of violating the anti-child prostitution and pornography law after he had sex with a 13-year-old girl at a love hotel.
According to police, Tadahiro Daimaru, a company employee, met the girl on Twitter in January and arranged to meet her at the hotel on Feb 13, Sankei Shimbun reported. In the hotel room, Daimaru offered the girl 50,000 yen to have sex with him but before that, he coerced her into a signing a four-page “slave contract,” in which she voluntarily would submit to his desires and pledge eternal love for him.
Police said Daimaru filmed the sex act with his smartphone.
The incident came to light after Daimaru, who is from Saitama Prefecture, was arrested in March on suspicion of having sex with another girl who was a minor. An examination of video footage on his smartphone revealed the incident in Nagoya.

If this is true, an example needs to be made of this calculating creep.
They need to stamp down hard on him to get the message across publicly that this type of behavior will never be tolerated in a civilized world.
hmmm1
I could be very creative with his punishment.
Do the hustle
Hopefully this rock spider will be locked away for a very long time.

What a sick puppy

Actually, since this continues to happen @nandakandamanda 4:24pm
…and the “Love Hotels”.
ID check, legal age verification and a permanent record on file of everyone entering rooms is needed. Discretion can still be offered to legally, consenting individuals.

Japan desperately needs to ‘crack some eggs’, and some stubborn heads, with its pandemic of sexual assaults along with its predation upon and exploitation of Children.

Another sicko, another case where Japan will do nothing but give him a slap on the wrist. Blame the Japanese government for not doing anything about these types of crimes.
Sal Affist
No doubt he soon will be a "former company employee, now unemployed" the next time we read about him.
It's great that there is an 'anti-child prostitution and pornography law' but is there not some kind of child-rape or statutory rape charge too? The end of the article hints at that, about him being arrested in March for suspicion of having sex with a different girl who was also a minor. Or maybe they are just going to sequence the charges and re-arrest him in order to keep him in jail until they have an ironclad confession?

People like this scum should be locked up for a while, then registered as a predator in a national data base where he could be exposed were ever he goes.

Hang him higher… And the girls, it obviously simply lacks of a sufficient amount of school homework so that they don’t need 50,000yen and don’t even have a minute to spend.

Regardless of own will or mutual agreement, the minor is not eligible to make any contract without parental consent. Basic of basics, and it should be taught at school.

Sadly, in Japan is perfectly legal to have sex with a 13yo girl.

arrest troublemakers. japan law system works.,

Sadly, in Japan is perfectly legal to have sex with a 13yo girl.
Riiiiiiiiight... So if he hadn't used any nasty words like "slave", everything would have been okay?
bokuda
Exactly.
Notice that the article doesn't say anything about sex with a minor.
It only focuses on the contract.
snowymountainhell
Can you be more specific @zichi 8:20pm so everyone can clearly understand the illegalities?:
awoefioa
Haven't you heard of the Child Welfare Act?
It is illegal to have sex with anyone under the age of 18.
A 20 year old male college student can be arrested for having sex with an 18 year old female high school student.

Why Is the Age of Consent in Japan Only 13-Year-Old?

bokuda
Don't burst me in negatives.
I hate the Japanese justice more than you.
The opposition has been trying to change the age of consent so Manny times, but the LDP don't wanna.
Do the hustle
Sorry that is incorrect. However, it is only a couple of decades ago the age of consent was lifted from 13 to 16 nationally.
igfklin
bokuda seems to be unaware of the Child Welfare Law(児童福祉法) enacted in 1947.
igfklin
Like bokuda, I often see foreigners who are unaware of the Child Welfare Law and claim that sex with 13-year-olds is legal in Japan.
Whenever I see such comments, I laugh.
igfklin
This is an English translation of the Child Welfare Law(児童福祉法).

igfklin
If the age of consent is 17, it is still illegal to have sex with a 17-year-old because of the Child Welfare Law(児童福祉法).
snowymountainhell
Well-stated and clarified @zichi 8:50pm for any of the downvoters, who perhaps were unaware or may think otherwise.
Also, agreed with following, in part:
snowymountainhell
Yes, @awoefioa 8:30pm. Well aware. Just wanted some clarification for any of the others misunderstanding the Act:
Now, would appreciate your + vote back at 8:25pm before we’re included with any of the dissenters from our mutual opinions. Thanks.
bokuda
I've read your Child Welfare Law(児童福祉法)link but couldn't find it. Can you enlighten me, please.
Did you check the link I sent? It's from Feb 26 and explains how the opposition cannot change the age of consent from 13yo, no matter how many times they try.
https://historyofyesterday.com/why-is-the-age-of-consent-in-japan-only-13-year-old-e4363d0ea679
Any Google search will give you a 13 as age of consent in Japan.
Are you messing with me?

A slave contract? Wow, I've never even thought of that.
oldman_13
Disgusting predator. Lock him up long time.

In almost all cases it is not legal to have sex with a 13 y/o girl within Japan.
The minimum age for sexual activity in the Japanese constitution is 13. This merely means that any sexual contact with a person under 13 has to be considered as a crime and has to be investigated by authorities, regardless if this person or parents/guardians wish that or not.
In case of exchange of money or otherwise valuable items (like jewelry etc.) in return of sexual favors the minimum age is 18 for both.
There are other restrictions too, even if no money is exchanged for sex in case of minors:
For example parental rights are quite strong in Japan and parents have the right to interfere, there are restrictions between teachers and students, medical doctors and patients and so on.
u_s__reamer
There exist several categories of sexual predators and Daimaru appears to fit that of the least culpable: the sad sack incel loser in the rough competition among males in pursuit of females, i.e., his inability to attract the favors of a woman. Unfortunately, he's more likely to end up in a prison rather than enter a clinic where he might receive some much-needed psychiatric help for a miserable condition that afflicts many young men.
bokuda
Let's agree that I'll never understand the Japanese law.
I genualy wanted to learn. Just don't have the capacity to understand.
I don't even know what's the minimum age of consent in Japan yet. You all keep throwing different random numbers.
u_s__reamer
A slave contract? Wow, I've never even thought of that.
But might that also sound too uncomfortably familiar, like a marriage certificate to many a couple wedded in mutual misery?
NOMINATION
What is this, 50 Shades of scumbag pedophilia? I am glad they arrested him.
Yohan
Such foreigners are often not aware about their own countries and laws.
In Europe there are various countries (Germany, Austria, Italy, Serbia, Portugal, Albania, Estonia and maybe some others) where the age of consent is 14, but it seems this does not disturb anybody.
Same in South America, it is 14 in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay - nobody cares....
I am not sure, but I think this Japanese 13 y/o age limit was decided during the Meiji area, when a new constitution based on European values and samples of the old German constitution at that time were used for creating a new legal framework for Japan.
However later on various other rules were added to protect minors and now it is almost impossible to have legal sex with a 13 y/o girl in Japan.

About this Japanese man 29 y/o who had sex with a 13 y/o girl in exchange of yen 50.000, he was clearly breaking the law and will find himself in jail for a while. What an idiot, ruining his future. If he spends his money in a soap-land with ladies doing their legal jobs there would be no problem at all.
Yohan
This man is a criminal, no question about that - but others also failed to teach this girl how to behave when facing certain situations.
This man and this girl had internet contacts over several weeks before meeting in a hotel room.
For sure it can be said, that her parents (or single mother or guardian etc) failed badly to control her activities on the internet and failed to teach her some moral values for her own safety.
They should have strongly adviced her NEVER to accept money or valuable gifts from anybody - regardless if from unknown adults or 'best boyfriends' of her own age - in return of sexual favors of any kind including taking nude pictures of her.

....a technofix that would just drive the activity to more hidden and worse places.
As if we don´t have enough violation of privacy already.
Yubaru
Good luck with that. This will be the first, and last time, you hear anything about this guy or this case here.
starpunk
This is one of the most disgusting crimes anyone can do. A 13 y/o is a minor and this one was coerced/pressured into wrongdoing. Even worse it was for performing a bondage porn act.
Prostitution, pedophilism, exploitation, snuff is never acceptable under any circumstances and should not be tolerated anywhere. She is much too young for any of this stuff, let alone kinky stuff. Tadahiro Daimaru is a sicko that needs to be jailed and kept away from children forever.
Alongfortheride
I didn't read all the comments above & maybe someone has already touched on this but the "National" age of consent in Japan has NOT been raised as some people think, it is still at age 13 BUT "Prefecture" laws over ride that and make it 18. I am not sure why the National age is still at that but it should be raised.
Commodore Perry
He broke the first rule. Don't leave evidence.
serendipitous1
Ahh, the first rule is actually, 'Don't commit crime'.
sir_bentley28
This really enraged me so much! She is 13 years old, man! 13!!! How can people do this to a kid? I wish I could get 11 mins alone with this guy. All of my rage.....to get revenge for the little girls he harmed!
I know and understand the whole "eye for an eye" concept, but when it comes to creepos harming children, all bets, gloves, shoes and compassion are off!
starpunk
This makes me sick. I've heard that in prisons pedo scum like him are at bottom of the 'inmate hierarchy' so maybe his cellmates will give him what he really deserves!
602miko
These young ppl need to take away their phone. And this sick pedo he's already 29, and chatting the youngster? In his action he's too much pervert and sick
Yohan
This man was arrested because of violating the anti-child prostitution and pornography law, which is by my knowledge nationwide. It clearly says that in case of exchange of money (or otherwise valuables like jewelry etc) for sexual services the minimum age of BOTH persons must be 18.
About age of consent, in various countries in Europe and South America -Germany, Austria, Italy, Serbia, Portugal, Albania, Estonia - Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay - and some others too, it is 14, only 1 year difference to Japan, but nobody cares.
Yes, there is - if the minor in question is younger than 13 - below the age of consent.
About same legal situation in those countries I mentioned above, if the minor is below 14.
Yohan
This is not the case in Japan. Japanese prisons are known about their very strict discipline rules, anything else but a comfortable stay and all prisoners have to work - but all inmates are safe. It is very rare, almost unknown, that any inmate attacks another inmate or prison officers.
Yohan
It is very difficult today to take away from children computers, internet, mobile phones - some children know even better how to make use of them than their parents.
However this girl was into sex-chat with this man for one month and obviously parents did not check about at all what she was doing on the internet and mobile phone.
She also disappeared for some hours, parents had no idea where she is going and after coming back home she had yen 50.000,- in her wallet - from where is this money coming from?
Her parents were acting irresponsible and negligent.
It's not wrong and not illegal (for stupid do-gooders this is child-abuse) if parents check out what their 13 y/o daughter is doing - they should take a look in her chat history, e-mails, twitter, facebook, to check out what she has in her handbag/wallet and in her room, to tell her she has to report where she is when going out and give a time when she must be back - and when she breaks these rules, to insist she has to stay at home without connection to outside, regardless if she likes that or not.
Further, parents have to teach their minor-age daughters that it is totally unacceptable to offer sexual favors in return of money.

Not gonna happen. I think you are mixing your American/Hollywood stories with reality in Japan.

In Japan? Sounds more like you are confusing made up American prison movies with real life prison in Japan.
