ろくでなし子被告、罰金確定へ　女性器３Ｄデータ―最高裁

　自身の女性器の３次元（３Ｄ）データを支援者に配布したとして、わいせつ電磁的記録等送信頒布罪などに問われた漫画家の五十嵐恵被告（４８）＝ペンネーム・ろくでなし子＝の上告審判決が１６日、最高裁第１小法廷であり、小池裕裁判長は被告側の上告を棄却した。データのわいせつ性を認定し、罰金４０万円とした一、二審判決が確定する。
　小法廷は「（わいせつ性は）データを視覚化したもののみを見て判断するのが相当」と述べた。
　被告側は、データ提供は作品の制作費出資への返礼で、出資者に新たな創作を促す目的もあったと主張。一連の工程全体が「プロジェクトアート」で、工程を含めて判断すべきだと訴えていた。（2020/07/16-17:30）

The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed an appeal filed by cartoonist Megumi Igarashi against a lower court sentence of a 400,000-yen fine on her for distributing to her supporters 3D data on her genitals.
   The top court's First Petty Bench, presided by Justice Hiroshi Koike, acknowledged that the data were obscene, noting that it is reasonable to make such a judgment after seeing what is visualized from the data.
   In 2016, Tokyo District Court acquitted Igarashi, known by her pen name of Rokudenashiko, of charges of exhibiting a plaster model of her genitals but found her guilty of transmitting obscene electromagnetic records.
   The district court deemed that the 3D data offer a graphic image of genitals, provoking the viewer's sexual desire, while pointing out that the plaster model can be hardly recognized as the organs.
   After Tokyo High Court upheld the ruling in 2017, Igarashi, 48, appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.
