Japan arrests six over child porn
Japanese police have arrested six men for alleged involvement in child pornography that possibly involved the abuse of as many as 168 boys, media reported Thursday.
The arrested were aged 20 to 66, the top-selling Yomiuri Shimbun and other media said, citing a police statement.
The victims reportedly ranged from the ages of four to 13.
Police could not immediately comment on the reports when contacted by AFP, and it was unclear from them when the arrests occurred.
But they came as Japan takes gradual steps to toughen laws against child pornography after years of criticism from international campaigners.
