Jujutsu Kaisen Translator Arrested For Possessing Child Porn
Possession of child pornography is a punishable offence in many countries. If any kind of child pornography material is being used for commercial purposes, then the person is liable to imprisonment, fine, or both.
After Act Age mangaka, Tatsuya Matsumi was arrested on the grounds of molestation; the manga industry sees another arrest. However, this time it is not a mangaka or an illustrator but an official translator.
Stefan Koza, the translator for the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, was arrested on 7th December on account of possession and distribution of child pornography.
The 33-year-old resident of Great Falls, VA, was arrested by the Herndon Police Department.
He was transported to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Centre and held without a bond there. The arrest took place after a collaborative investigation with the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce. (ICAC).
