Japan's porn industry has issued a formal apology and promised to change following allegations that women have been forced to perform sex acts on film against their will.
While the high-profile case sparked the industry's response, campaigners say the practice is more widespread and welcomed the apology as "the first of its kind".
The Intellectual Property Promotion Association (IPPA), which represents Japan's adult film industry, said in a statement it will "encourage producers to take action to quickly improve the situation and restore the soundness of the entire industry".
It added: "The association deeply regrets that we had failed to take initiatives (to deal with problem before). We are very sorry."
Police arrested the three men earlier this month, including a 49-year-old executive at Tokyo-based agency Marks Japan, on suspicion of violating the country's labour laws.
The talent agency pressed the victim to perform in adult videos by allegedly warning her that she had to pay penalties for breach of contract if she refused, local media have reported.
The unnamed woman thought she was going to be working as a model.
Pornography is widely available in Japan, but the dark side of the industry is seldom discussed openly and the rights of those who work in it even less so.
Activists point to abuses including coercive or fraudulent signing of contracts - sometimes targeting minors.
Some actresses have said they were forced to engage in repeated intercourse without protection and even being gang-raped during filming.
Human Rights Now, a Tokyo-based campaign group, said the number of women seeking counseling over industry abuses jumped more than 80% last year from 2014.
