Kenta Imoto, a company employee from Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, was arrested on suspicion of defamation and violating Japan’s Act on Prohibition of Child Prostitution and Child Pornography, according to local media reports.

Investigators said Imoto was allegedly asked in February by a 17-year-old boy whom he met on social media to sexually alter images of the 12-year-old girl.
