A manga author is charged with child pornography?

That is the least surprising thing I've ever heard.

Nah, he just has to pay a 1 million yen fine and he's free to go. This isn't something serious, like when the Kaiji composer went to prison for five years for marijuana possession.

Possession of child pornography was only made illegal like two years ago too (though distribution and production of it has been illegal since the 90s)

I think he's gonna get it worse than the Toriko author having sex with an underage prostitute.

There is zero ways that publishers are going to work with him anymore after this.

Manga publishers do not like their authors doing illegal things.

The Toriko author was arrested for having sex with a child prostitute and came back to Shounen Jump and made Toriko (396 chapters/43 volumes).

What they'll do to Watsuki is most likely suspend his current manga until he gets out of prison (if he even goes to prison), then give him a courtesy 1-2 volumes to finish his story. Move him to a deeper branch magazine to cool off, and then get him back into Jump SQ if he's still feeling up for it.

Child pornography might be more prominent there, but actual child sex abuse is way more common in the US.

Federal age of consent is 13, but the majority of municipalities have their own specific consent rules. Majority of them set it as 18.

Actually, the US doesn't have a federal age of consent law at all. Most federal laws regarding sexual crimes use 18 to define "minors", but some are written to avoid interfering with more permissive state laws. The only age of consent set at the federal level is for military personnel (generally 16, but as low as 12 if married).

The federal age is the lowest age the government will accept. Local governments can then make higher ages. If a local government wanted to lower its age, it could not go lower than the federal age.
