Police have arrested two primary school teachers in Japan for taking and sharing porn images of young girls in a chat group with fellow teachers.

Local police told the BBC that two men, a 42 -year -old teaching at a public school in a public school in Nagoya and a 37 -year -old at a public school in Yokohama admitted by taking some pictures and videos of girls under 13 years of age.

The so -called upscart photographs, including images – were then shared in a group of 10 primary and junior high school teachers, which were managed by a arrested.

Japan has recently banned secret filming of sexual acts as part of comprehensive sexual offense reforms.

Japan’s Asahi Shimbun said that a chat group of teachers was arrested after a 15 -year -old girl was arrested for “body tleds” on the backpack, a chat group of teachers came out, told Asahi Shimbun of Japan.

A forensic review of his mobile phone was then discovered by the chat group, which was hosted on an anonymous social media platform. The shared materials include the upscart photos, as well as the clips to replace the girls, and the girls’ headshots appeared from the “deepfeck”.

Police said some of these photos were taken in schools, but it is not clear whether these schools were members of the taught groups.

In May 2023, after being acquitted of several rapes in 2019, as part of a broad overhaul of its centenary old laws on sexual offenses.

In particular, laws “sexually off the filming of children” impose ban on “sexually without any reason”.

Criminals will have a fine of up to three years or a fine of 3 million Japanese yen (£ 15,160; $ 20,800).

2023 reforms in Japan’s sexual offense laws also expanded the definition of rape and increased the age of consent from 13 to 16.
