It is not legal in Japan to have sex with prepubescent children. I forget what the cutoff age is, but it would not be permissible to have sex with an 11-year-old girl, for example. Rape is illegal in any case. However, there are no significant consensual sex laws regarding teenage girls. The main reason is that until recently, it wasn’t common enough to merit attention. If it did occur, typically the couple would be either seeking a marriage or forced into it. Since the economic depression of the ’80s, times have changed. An increasing phenomenon is the practice of ‘compensated dating,’ in which an older man pays a younger girl to be his girlfriend. The awareness of this is growing in Japan, and unprecedented laws are being passed to prohibit it. Ironically, it’s the girls who end up having to pay the penalty, which is usually a hefty fine. It seems when it comes down to it, the Japanese put a lot more faith in a teenage girl to manage her own destiny than we would ever dream of doing in the United States. For the most part, they succeed.
