Megumi Igarashi, the artist who was arrested in 2014 for distributing 3D-printable design files of her vagina, was convicted today by a Japanese court of distributing “obscene” images.
Igarashi, according to Kyodo News, was fined 400,000 yen, or about $3,700 — half the penalty demanded by prosecutors — on the obscenity charge. She was cleared of another count of displaying similar material.
Working under the pseudonym Rokudenashiko, Igarashi was arrested in July 2014 after she distributed data that enabled recipients to make 3D prints of her vagina.
