Adult entertainment law to be revised to fight human trafficking

TOKYO — The National Police Agency has drafted an amendment to the adult entertainment business law to help prevent human trafficking, agency officials said Thursday. The proposed amendment includes a provision requiring entertainment business operators to confirm that foreign workers have work authorization documents, the officials said.
Law enforcement authorities could file criminal charges against employers of such foreign workers under the immigration control and refugee law but they could get away by saying they did not know the workers were not legally authorized to work. Under the revised adult entertainment business law, entertainment service operators will be punished if they fail to ensure that foreign workers have work permits, the officials said. (Kyodo News)
Well, this is a really good way to stop the Yakuza from getting more sex slaves, if the cops aren't bribed out, but tis a bad thing for foreigners that can't get visas, especially with all the recent deportations. It will be interesting to see how things turn out.
