"EDMONTON - An Edmonton man has been sentenced in what is believed to be the first case of cartoon child pornography to come before the courts of Canada.
Gordon Chin purchased online and downloaded off the Internet thousands of pages of explicit cartoons called anime, or Japanese animation, which contain cute characters similar to Pokemon and Astro Boy.

The anime seized from Chins south-side home include scenes of adults having sex with tied-up children and infants in diapers. In some cartoons, babies are raped with weapons.

Why would anyone want to look at stuff like this? asked Judge David Tilley after examining a sample of the anime in provincial court Wednesday.
I dont think this is the kind of filth that should be available to the public.

...

While later searching Chins home, city police seized 63 more books and four binders containing photocopied and printed versions of explicit anime off the Internet.
Defence lawyer Darcy Depoe said his client naively believed the cartoons were legal here.
He was clueless about Canadian law, Depoe said. He now understands our law is different."
