Japan Passes Groundbreaking Revisions to Sex Crimes Laws, Strengthening Protection for Children and Survivors
In a significant development, Japan’s national legislature has approved groundbreaking revisions to its sex crime laws. The House of Councillors, the upper house of Japan’s National Diet, voted in favor of amendments to Chapter 22 of the Penal Code, which addresses offenses related to obscenity, forcible sexual intercourse, and bigamy. These revisions entail key changes, including raising the age of consent from thirteen to sixteen and updating the definition of rape from “forcible sexual intercourse” to “non-consensual sexual intercourse.”
Previously, Japan’s definition of rape was narrowly confined to instances involving coercion through “assault or intimidation.” However, the expanded definition will now encompass coercion through the “use of economic or social status” as well. These modifications aim to strengthen protections for individuals, particularly children, and make Japan’s sex crimes laws more survivor-oriented.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has welcomed these changes, asserting that they will contribute to safeguarding the rights of children and enhancing the overall approach to addressing sex crimes in Japan. HRW views these amendments as an initial step toward the improvement of the country’s sex industry.
Despite the illegality of prostitution under the 1956 Prostitution Prevention Law, certain aspects of Japanese culture continue to exhibit the sexualization of young women. Various services, such as massage parlors or escort clubs, often euphemistically referred to as the “entertainment” industry, persist in some regions. Advocates have raised concerns about the way Japanese law enforcement has allowed a range of “entertainment” services to exploit legal loopholes, perpetuating violence against women and facilitating human trafficking.
The passing of these revisions marks a significant milestone in Japan’s efforts to address and prevent sex crimes, signaling a commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals and ensuring justice for survivors.

Go.cam Strengthens Defenses Against Video-Based Spoofing
Video spoofing is increasingly undermining digital age verification, with fraudsters using pre-recorded clips to bypass security checks. As regulators demand stronger compliance, providers are stepping up their defenses.
Go.cam introduced new measures designed to identify and block spoofed attempts more effectively. The platform leverages: • Fraud detection mechanisms that spot manipulated videos. • AI-powered liveness verification to counter evolving tactics. • Continuous updates that maintain compliance with global standards.
“By staying ahead of spoofing threats, we’re not just protecting platforms, we are safeguarding the confidence of every user who relies on us,” says Marco Forastieri, Marketing Director of Go.cam.
About Go.cam Go.cam is a leader in secure age verification technology, empowering businesses with reliable, compliant, and user-friendly solutions. By combining cutting-edge AI with industry expertise, Go.cam delivers peace of mind to organizations and their users worldwide.
One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam
At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code.
Why This Matters Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours.
Automatic Implementation Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically:
· Blurs the website’s adult content · Camera access management · Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation · Instant verification results
Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again.
For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser.
Compliance Without the Complexity By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.
