Mainichi: Police to tighten 'love hotel,' matchmaking cafe loopholes to stop child prostitution
The government is seeking to revise legislation to regulate facilities that closely resemble "love hotels" but are not legally recognized as such, and so-called matchmaking cafes, as they are regarded as hotbeds for child prostitution, officials said. The National Police Agency (NPA) has drafted a bill to revise the Law Regulating Adult Entertainment Businesses to apply it to such establishments. If such facilities are subject to regulations under the law, those aged below 18 will be banned from entering them. Moreover, these facilities will be prohibited from operating near schools and in other areas designated by the law. There are about 3,590 facilities that closely resemble love hotels but are not recognized as such because they do not meet the standards set by the current law, according to the NPA. About 80 percent of them are situated in areas where adult entertainment businesses are prohibited by law. The NPA is seeking to ease the legal standards to designate such facilities as love hotels. There are also about 100 cafes that serve as matchmaking spots between men and women, and allow men to take out women introduced to them, according to the NPA. Such facilities are also believed to be hotbeds for child prostitution. In 2008, police confirmed 27 cases of child prostitution using such cafes across the country.
