The story
In Fukuoka Prefecture, an 18-year-old female high school student reported that “it seems someone secretly filmed me naked,” leading to the arrest of her 18-year-old ex-boyfriend on suspicion of violating Japan’s law against filming sexual acts or exposed bodies. According to investigators, the man is believed to have shown video he filmed without her consent to the woman’s current boyfriend. His alleged motive — that showing the video would make the current boyfriend break up with her so she’d come back to him — drew a wave of “I can’t understand what he was thinking” reactions on 5channel. The thread was also divided over who the real victim in this case actually is.
“It seems I was filmed naked” — 18-year-old female high schooler’s report leads to arrest of her ex-boyfriend, an 18-year-old high schooler, who allegedly said “If I show her boyfriend the (nude) video, they’ll break up and she’ll come back to me…”

What people said
For a second I thought this was gonna turn gay lol
Oh, so it's that kind of NTR (netorare — the "stolen girlfriend" trope) 🤩
The premise here is that he secretly filmed a female high schooler naked. But I don't get it — I can't see how showing her current boyfriend the (nude) video would make them break up and bring her back to him. What kind of logic makes someone think "show the boyfriend the video → they break up → she comes back to me"?
Even between classmates?
This used to happen all the time back in the day
As long as you don't use it to threaten anyone, it should be fine, no?
Doing it without the woman's consent — of course she'd be pissed
I have no idea what he's talking about
I was totally lost at first too, but here's the deal — she had a current boyfriend, but agreed to sleep with her ex when he asked, he secretly filmed it as "proof," and then the ex figured: "show the video to the current boyfriend" → they "break up" → she "comes back" to him
Won't even get into a decent university at this rate
The current boyfriend didn't do anything wrong here lol
They're probably at some private university in Fukuoka
It says he was arrested on suspicion of violating the law against filming sexual acts/exposed bodies, so it's voyeurism — probably filmed while she was asleep or without her knowing
Whether you call it revenge porn, defamation, or voyeurism, it's guilty either way. And what does "they're classmates" have to do with anything?
Normally you'd just delete it…
Can't they just move on to someone new?
Women tend to move on more easily
And it's almost always men who end up stalking and killing their exes too
Was she being threatened or something?
If she'd been threatened, they'd have added a non-consensual sex charge on top
Since they didn't, the sex itself must've been consensual
Back in our day it was camcorders, so filming itself would've been a lot harder
People filmed stuff just fine back then too
The current boyfriend who got cheated on lol
Victim or not, the one who really got screwed over is the current boyfriend
It's the woman — she's the victim, and she probably got put through some kind of secondary victimization by the police on top of it
The image of a camcorder just cracked me up lol
What is this, a kid's field day? lol
Well, before smartphones existed, camcorders were all you had
Those things make it super obvious you're filming a sex tape, so I figured it must've been tough to pull off… lol
Nice, isn't it~
Smells like lavender (a stock 5ch in-joke line dropped for ironic effect)
Background and Key Discussion Points
At issue in this case is Japan’s “Act on Punishment of Photographing Sexual Acts, etc.,” which took effect in 2023 — a law that criminalizes non-consensual filming itself, with no threats or extortion required for the offense to hold. Since the age of adulthood was lowered to 18 in 2022, both parties are legal adults; the terms “female high schooler” and “high school boy” simply reflect their status as students, not minors, so this isn’t a case handled under the Juvenile Act. Where the thread split was over “who’s the real victim” — legally, the woman who was filmed without consent is the victim, but much of the commentary leaned toward viewing the current boyfriend, who found out about the affair, as “the biggest victim.” The article itself doesn’t clarify whether the sexual encounter was consensual or coerced, and speculation over that point is what’s driving the thread’s momentum. The full circumstances behind the filming and the real nature of the relationships will have to wait for follow-up reporting.
