Title: Mechaike's "Kei-chan" suspected of rape - fired from agency
Post by: Ayabie on July 31, 2006, 11:22:44 PM

* Member of comedy duo Gokuraku Tonbo questioned over rape of 17-year-old girl... (http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20060719p2a00m0na005000c.html)

* Gokuraku Tombo comedy duo predicament tops entertainment headlines... (http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/entertainment/news/20060722p2a00m0et009000c.html)

I know this is old news but I just recently learned about this and is feeling pretty bad. :O I doubt he'll be back on Mechaike. Sucks to lose a great comedian just like that.

dunno. I dont think it's raping though. Just sexual misconduct with a minor. and she turned to the police to fuck him over.

Here's the timeline of what's happening before the rape

Oh well, both accusations are looked down upon in Japan so he's screwed either way... =/

Ah, thanks for the timeline, Mugen.

He's accused of having sex with a minor (i.e. someone who's not considered to be a legal adult). The girl he had sex with is under the age of 20, which is the age in Japan where you are legally considered an adult. Plus, as was said previously, the girl has now gone to the cops and accused him of raping her.

To be honest, I feel worse for his partner, who's career is now, unfortunately, royally screwed because of what's happened.

I don't think they could have really done much for him. >_< He was apologising on his partner's behalf to everybody for his partner's behaviour and I suppose given the circumstance, it would have been better to just leave him do as he deems best.

I just felt REALLY REALLY sorry for the guy. >_<
