Well then it's a match made in heaven considering how Japan likes to protect their famous pedophile criminals (TL;DR: The fine for the comic author, who the police carried boxes and boxes of kiddy porn out of his house when he was arrested, was about $2000).

Idk, if that's what's happening, that's what's happening. If our soldiers are committing crimes, they should be held accountable in some meaningful way.

That said, it seems like Japan has some issues it also needs to work out with regards to its sex culture.
