Will 14yr boy in Kanagawa Prefecture be convicted of prostitution?

Background: TOKYO —

Police on Tuesday sent prosecutors papers on an alleged case of child prostitution involving a 14-year-old boy in Kanagawa Prefecture who paid 60,000 yen to have sex with a 13-year-old girl he met on an online dating site. The boy, a third grader at a Tokyo junior high school, paid out of the more than 100,000 yen he had saved in cash allowances from his parents, Kanagawa police said.

They sent local prosecutors documents on the boy’s ‘‘indecent act’’ in a railway station toilet in Sagamihara on March 1, when the girl was a 13-year-old first grader at a junior high school. Police quoted the boy as saying that he carried out the act because he ‘‘had money and was interested in sex.’’ He enticed the girl by portraying himself as an 18-year-old in a message posted from a personal computer at his home.http://www.japantoday.com/category/crime/view/14-year-old-boy-charged-with-child-prostitution
