警察「AKB創設者の1人は児童ポルノ製造や人身売買を行なっている後藤組と関係がある」

According to the May 30, 2013, issue of the weekly magazine Shukan Shincho, and police sources, one of
the founders of the group was associated with the Goto-gumi, a yakuza group that was involved in human
trafficking and child pornography production. The general producer of AKB48, Yasushi Akimoto is a board
member of The Tokyo Organizing Committee for the 2020 Olympics (sometimes called the Yakuza Olympmics)
. There has been some criticism of his selection for the committee.

Swimsuit shots of underage AKB48 girls “won’t fall under the law,” says Fukuda. “As long as it's no
t a really obscene pose or something in a form which deliberately causes sexual arousal, it is not chil
d pornography. If it's just normal swimwear it's not deliberately obscene.”
