TOKYO: Porn producers in Japan are preying on young modelling hopefuls, with a quarter of women who sign contracts with street touts asked to perform in sex videos, a new government survey has found. Chilling stories of young women duped into signing modelling contracts only to find themselves on adult movie sets and instructed to perform sometimes brutal sex scenes have created alarm over Japan’s multi-billion dollar adult film business in recent months. The online survey, seen Thursday by AFP, found some 200 young women who signed modelling contracts after being approached on the street, most of them minors. Of these 53 said they were asked to pose sexually or perform sex acts in front of still, movie or live streaming cameras against their will. ”Sexual abuse in society is hard to see and the government had long failed to take action,” he told AFP.
