In a historic first for the country, Fukushima Prefectural Police arrested a person, who allegedly broke the law aimed at tackling revenge porn that involves public distribution of sexually explicit images or video without a subject’s consent.
Shinya Miyata, 33, stands accused of scattering nude photos of his ex-girlfriend at a parking lot in the city of Koriyama in late January. The law against revenge porn was adopted in Japan last November.
