It's also frustrated by the fact that Japan simply doesn't consider certain things criminal. Child pornography was outlawed as recently as 2015, but the adult video industry hasn't really changed much and Japanese police haven't been investigating AV producers suspected of using underage actors. Then there's the existence of "junior idols" who often pose for sexually suggestive photographs that would be considered child pornography in any other country but aren't under Japanese law. Unlike with lolicon there's no "it's not real children" defense that can be mounted with that shit, it is 100% legal child sexual exploitation.
