“The naked image of a girl made by CG is child pornography” Convicted on January 29 at 18:27
In a lawsuit over whether a naked image of a girl made with computer graphics = CG based on photos corresponds to child pornography, the Supreme Court pointed out that "it depicts real children and it is child pornography" The defendant who created the CG has decided to dismiss the appeal and has been found guilty.
Defendant Takahashi (59), a graphic designer in Gifu City, was accused of producing child pornography for making 34 images by CG based on naked pictures of girls.
In the trial, whether or not the CG image was child pornography was contested, and the defendant claimed acquittal, saying, "It is an original work, not a real girl," but the Tokyo High Court in the second trial found three images. Determined that it was child pornography and sent a fine of 300,000 yen, and the defendant had appealed.
In this regard, Judge Takuya Miyama of the Supreme Court's First Presidency said, "Child pornography is a description of a real child's body in a visually recognizable way. In this CG, a real child wears no clothes at all. The child's body is drawn from a photo that is not attached to the child, and it is child pornography. "
