Mothers sell pornographic images of own children in shocking new trend
Among the alarming increase in child pornography cases to strike Japan in 2009 are a number of particularly disturbing incidents: Child porn made and sold by the children's own mothers.
In many cases, mothers or other relatives agreed to sell nude photographs of their children to men they met on Internet underwear shops. So far this year, at least 12 guardians have been arrested on child porn suspicions related to their own children. Once the images are distributed on the Internet, it is virtually impossible to recover them, and the National Police Agency is now cooperating with other branches of government on formulating preventative policies.
