Japanese TV Station Explains Kodomo no Jikan Cancellation

The TV Saitama network, which, last week, canceled plans to broadcast the upcoming Kodomo no Jikan anime television series, has now revealed that the decision not to air the comedy series about a preadolescent schoolgirl making sexual advances toward her teacher came in response to the October 1 arrest of Takayuki Hosoda, a 54-year-old elementary school vice-principal in Sapporo. Hosoda has been charged with soliciting obscene behavior from a 16-year-old girl, and taking and selling obscene photographs of an estimated 600 under-age girls since 2000.
