In Australia, a man has plead guilty to four charges in connection with importing anime and Japanese videogames that included child pornography and depicted scenes of sexual violence. 22-year-old Bao Peng Lim, who will be fined 9,000 Australian dollars (about US$8,000), could have been sentenced to as much as ten years in prison.
As Lim was entering Australia on a flight from Singapore in April 2006, customs officers searched Lim's luggage and found eight DVDs containing anime child pornography. A search of his house turned up another 14 DVDs. According to customs official Richard Janeczko, all images of offensive sexual conduct — including child pornography, whether actual or drawn/animated — are prohibited from being brought into the country under Australian laws such as the 1956 Customs (Prohibited Import) Regulations.
And all this time I thought Australia is made of win, being a country composed of ex-convicts, war criminals and rugby players. Now my perfect universe is shattered, and I know for a fact that Australia actually has some laws that make lolicons an endangered species. If that individual wanks on anime material, for humanity's sake, let him and don't question his sexual orientation. Hell, there are people out there who actually have sex with black people, and no one blames them.
