A Missing Contract, Two Years On: Okayama Applies Japan's Adult-Video Consent Law for the First Time
Kurashiki police referred a 34-year-old unemployed man from Imabari, Ehime, to prosecutors on August 17, 2026, on suspicion of contracting a teenage girl for an adult video without giving her the written disclosures Japan's 2022 performer-protection law requires. It is the first time Okayama prefectural police have applied the statute, and the case surfaced only because of a separate arrest six months ago.
