A: Hey Sakura! Did you hear anything crazy on the news?

B: Hi Kenji! No, what’s up? Something serious?

A: Yeah… it's pretty awful. Apparently, the police arrested a man.

B: Oh no! What did he do?

A: He’s suspected of running a blog with really disturbing content. It was about child prostitution in Laos.

B: Seriously?! That's terrible. Did he create the blog himself?

A: Looks like it. He gave a fake address when he set it up, back in 2022.

B: Wow…and the blog had photos too?

A: Yes, pictures of what looks like girls from Laos. The police are working with the Lao police now.

B: That's good they're cooperating. Is he saying he didn’t do anything wrong?

A: That's what he claims! He says someone from Laos asked him to let them use his address.

B: Hmm, interesting... I remember seeing something about the Japanese Embassy warning people about this a while ago.

A: You do? They mentioned Japanese people were involved in this stuff in Laos, and it’s illegal here too.

B: It’s so sad and scary. I hope they catch everyone involved.

A: Me too. It's just… really shocking.
