The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse.

The latest case involved a 17-year-old high school girl from Yokohama. Investigators believe Itou knew the girl was a minor when he paid her 30,000 yen for having sexual intercourse at his residence in December 2023.

He is also suspected of taking and saving photographs of the act.

      Nowadays girls can’t wait to prostitute themselves

      She should have been doing something more productive

      instead of being prostituting herself.

      This is putting the blame on the minor victim, implying the choice was her responsibility to make, and not the fully developed adult.
