VULNERABLE kids as young as six are being paid to wear sexy clothing while paedos legally take photos in Japan, a new documentary has revealed.

The BBC investigation by Stacey Dooley uncovered how the sexualisation of young girls is widespread in Japan, with child rape featuring in comic books.

Stacey Dooley is pictured with 19-year-old model Waka Ota at a ‘Chaku Ero’ photo shoot 

The investigation focused on a ‘legal grey area’ called Chako Ero where children are forced to wear sexy costumes

The show, set to air on Tuesday, focuses on a ‘legal grey area’ called Chako Ero which sees kids forced to wear sexy costumes because of an obsession with “virginity”.

Dooley spoke to one producer, who admitted he had filmed a six-year-old girl playing with toys while she was dressed in a swimming costume.

“We filmed her playing in her bathing costume, playing with the toys,” he told the show.

“Her mum was standing behind the camera with her favourite doll. There are lots of guys in Japan who have this Lolita complex.

“The younger they are, the more likely they are to look like virgins.”

Virginity, and the fantasy of destroying it, is at the essence of pedophilia

It is really about the destruction of innocence and the violation of the sacred

In other words, it is a spiritual disease not biological or psychological

She spoke to a number of people involved in the disturbing industry

Possessing child pornography was only made illegal in Japan three years ago.

But despite the stricter rules, the investigation found that sexual images of young girls are still being “openly and widely distributed" for commercial gain.

Chako Ero exploits a legal loophole because the children wear clothes - usually sexual costumes - in the photoshoots.

“Japan is seen to have a serious problem with the sexualisation of children,” a BBC spokesman said.

Dooley also visited a legal Tokyo JK café where schoolgirls are paid to hold hands and talk about sex with older men.

She spoke to police in Japan who say they are doing their utmost to protect vulnerable girls.

The investigation found that sexual images of young girls are still being “openly and widely distributed" for commercial gain.

The filmmaker was held by Japanese police for two hours after the crew shot footage of two schoolgirls walking on a Tokyo street where men can rent teenagers.

In footage of the incident, two men can be heard telling the presenter “no movies" and demanding the crew erase footage.

Stacey Dooley Investigates Young Sex for Sale in Japan will be available to watch on BBC Three from 10am on Tuesday.
