The Embassy of Japan in Indonesia has issued a warning, noting that newspaper reports state the Jakarta Metropolitan Police are conducting an investigation following Japanese-language social media posts that appear to suggest child prostitution.
Child prostitution in Indonesia is subject to crackdowns by Indonesian investigative authorities as a violation of the Child Protection Law and as the crime of rape under the Penal Code. The embassy further notes that Japanese nationals can also be punished in Japan as extraterritorial offenders under the Act on Punishment of Activities Relating to Child Prostitution and Child Pornography. It calls on people to comply with the laws of both Japan and Indonesia and to refrain from any illegal activities.
