Justice have a lot of free time it seems. Go find someone perform a real crime such as raping, murdering, selling drugs. It's like they don't have priorities. We already know that in scenes where the girl's crying because of the hard irumatio, she's being hurted. Who cares ?

Thanks, Cakkester; we are especially privileged for your contribution of "Japan's Porn Industry Apologises Over Coercion Claims," since you speak up very selectively, one post per year for the seven years you've been around.
This was heartbreaking to read, because I was under the assumption that porn actresses in the U.S. routinely get "misused," but JAV ladies are treated more respectfully. I suppose porn can be sleazy regardless of how "civilized" the country of production may be.
I found the comments section especially interesting. One charged the Yakuza with being behind all of it ("The Yaks pay off the police to allow the scouts to loiter in train stations and entrap women"), whereas another pinned some blame on the cops themselves ("The organization ... the IPPA, which represents Japan’s adult film industry ... is a typical amakudari organization, where ex-policemen work at a ridiculously high wages that come from rental chains in the name of assisting law enforcement. If a rental chain does not pay their dues, the organization does not protect them, or even sues them. It is more of a side business of police than an organization that represents adult video industry.")
I found especially interesting the latter author ("CH3CHO")'s revelation of whom the actress in question might be. This would be the woman the article tells us was coerced by three talent scouts into performing "in more than 100 pornographic films over several years." The thing they held over her head was that she would need "to pay penalties for breach of contract if she refused." The rub was that when she began her career, she "thought she was going to be working as a model."
Now I got a little suspicious, because I could understand if a lady was threatened over the course of one or several movies... but how could this continue for so long? So they were threatening to... sue her? If she didn't want to do it, couldn't she have uttered that classic phrase, "so sue me"?
At any rate, if Mr. CH3CHO's claim is to be believed, the woman in question is Hitomi Fujiwara [藤原ひとみ] (aka Hitomi Fujihara). (Her Asian Screens page and Minnano-AV page; the latter tells us she has been at it since 2010.) Funny thing is, when I put the DVD codes of some of her movies into DMM and R18, I got "Unable to Find" messages. (I also searched by actress at DMM; here's how to do that... in short, choose the last item in the dropdown box to the left of the magnifying glass icon search button, the one beginning with "AV"; put in Japanese lettering of the name.)
Hitomi Fujiwara Made Drunk All Day Gets Lost in Cream Pies [WANZ-111], from 2013.
I came up dry... there was nothing. Wow! It's like when U.S. video stores cleared the shelves completely of all Traci Lords porn, once her scandal broke.

Maybe its like with some people who are forcibly put into prostitution, at some point they believe that this is all they know how to do so just kept going?
also there are three threads about the same topic, they should get combined
.
Could be... could be. My only knowledge of women being forced into prostitution comes from ladies who pay high fees to immigrate into lands of opportunity, after which their passports are hijacked, and they are trapped in a strange country where they are told they must work off whatever remains of their debt. I also know of stories such as the entrapment that exists in a nation such as Brunei, where Western women, among others, travel with the expectation of performing other services, and then they are trapped. I've also seen sleazy movies where women are made to get hooked on drugs, so they have no choice. I'm also aware of violent pimps who can literally force ladies to remain as working girls, purely by strongarming them. In this case, however, it seems... after a while... she could have found a lawyer or something. Put yourself in her shoes, wouldn't you have taken some action? Perhaps her will was completely broken... but she must have been under some extreme influence.
If anyone knows the links to the other related threads, it would be helpful to post them here.
EDIT:
Besides the link provided below, a second thread with the same topic.
The link below had Inertia opining that it may have been "a pushy boyfriend who coerced her to concoct the story so all her work could be removed from the web." I think the great tragedy here is that a good number of JAVs have disappeared from DMM / R18's listings. We rely on these sources to get JAV information, and it is now terrible that searches for these videos will result in dead ends.

Thanks Jugulear. I could make up some story about being a monk who took a vow of silence seven years ago, reserving only one day per year to communicate...but that would probably not be too believable. Let's just say then that I hope to increase my postings/year ratio. After all, it cannot get much lower.
