Responding to a recent NGO report that pointed out the dark side of Japan's porn industry, several adult film actresses are defending their profession.

The report, issued earlier this month by the nongovernmental organization Human Rights Now earlier, said some women have been deceived and were forced to be filmed, while others have experienced sexual abuse.

A number of porn stars reacted to the report over the past several days, saying they freely chose their line of work and that the industry has treated them fairly.
