◆I filed a complaint of sexual assault in May of this year, but there was no contact from the office.
According to sources, the man complained to the former Johnny’s agency in May of this year, but the agency did not contact him for more than five months. On the other hand, following disclosing the damage on social networking sites (SNS) and other internet sites, he received slander and slander.

◆Why do victims themselves have to take measures once morest defamation?
The following is a comment made by a lawyer representing the family to the press (original):
As lawyers entrusted by the bereaved family of a 40-year-old man who died in Osaka Prefecture in mid-October, we would like to report on his passing and future actions, which were reported in some media this morning. Masu. First, I would like to explain the circumstances and feelings of the deceased in the words of the bereaved family.
“He took his own life and passed away in the early hours of October 13, 2023. We still can’t believe his sudden departure, we have no sense of reality, and our family is living in a daze. In May 2017, she called the former Johnny’s office and complained that she had been sexually assaulted by Johnny Kitagawa in 1995 (when she was 19 years old) when she was a member of Johnny’s. I promised that the person in charge would get back to me.However, for over five months following that, there was no contact from Johnny’s office.Although I was still deeply traumatized by the sexual assault I suffered when I was a minor, ‘I want to leave a better society,’ he complained once more in September.The office did not respond to his complaint, and his frustration and worries deepened. requested that the agency take measures once morest slander, but the agency’s executives only called for “stop the slander” at a press conference, without taking any concrete measures. Regarding the situation in which victims have to take measures themselves, he said, “Why should victims be the only ones who have to bear the burden of what the agency should be doing?” Coupled with the relapse of the trauma of the attack, it became even more serious.On the 13th, he committed suicide, leaving his family behind.”
As representatives of the surviving family members, we will continue to demand that the former Johnny’s Office and SMILE-UP., which took over its liability for compensation, take sincere and appropriate action.
The bereaved families are in great sadness and remain in deep shock. We ask that you strictly refrain from reporting in a manner that would allow the identification of the deceased or the bereaved family, or from interviewing the bereaved family, and please direct all inquiries regarding this matter to the representative below.
