Japanese Businessman Pleads Guilty in U.S. Child Porn Case | Honolulu News
Description
A Japanese businessman, Shunji Nishimura, 55, faces sentencing in Honolulu after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography discovered during a customs search of his phone in Hawaii. Though he’s asking for just one year and one day in federal prison — far below the 20-year max — his case hinges on personal stress, limited English, and Japan’s historically laxer child pornography laws. He’s apologized, taken full responsibility, and his lawyers are pleading for deportation after his sentence, hoping to send him back home to Japan.
