Child porn hard to define, stop in Japan: laws limited in huge market where possession, animated sex know no bounds

Japan has a huge adult pornography market. But the country also has a reputation as a haven for child porn, with international human rights groups and governments including the United States all criticizing Tokyo for not doing enough to curb the spread of sexually graphic material that exploits children.Over the past decade, the government has passed laws and made efforts to crack down on child pornographers. Though welcome, many people in and outside Japan believe such actions are not enough. Some also feel they were merely an effort to placate those who have different values than Japanese regarding sex, rather than through sincere recognition there is a problem.
