In many countries, entering illegally is not a crime, but a civil offense.

It could also be that the Japanese were in on this: that they let him flee because they thought that the prosecution would have been seen as dubious, saving face in the process.

And even where it’s criminal, the charges may not stick if you can show that you had no other choice.

See: refugee migration.

That's a weird way to phrase it. It's like saying "theft is crime, but the charges may not stick if you show that you paid for the goods."

"Not sticking" usually refers to a loophole or procedural error, not everyone doing the right thing.
