I've heard speculation that the age of consent laws in Japan are kept purposefully confusing so that they can be applied as prosecutors wish. Apparently it's something like this: http://helpto.pro/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/contest-japan.png http://helpto.pro/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/contest-japan.p... There was also that time when Mandarake caused an uproar when they opened a porn store right across a clothing store for kids, separated only by a two-metre corridor. The police eventually shut down the store for being within 200 metres of a hospital. That also had a strong whiff of "shopping around for a fitting crime".
