A team of United Nations inspectors has said it is “deeply alarmed” by the allegations of sexual abuse that may have taken place at leading Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates. Abuses may have involved “several hundred” talents, according to the org.JapanWhile the group met with government departments and more than a dozen companies, special attention was paid to Johnny’s during the visit.
Johnny’s and TEPCO, the power giant that was the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, were the only companies singled out for explicit mention in the 10-page statement. TEPCO was criticized for its wage policies and for reportedly forcing subcontractors to work on decontamination of the disaster-hit power station.
The UN group said that Johnny’s appeared not to be taking seriously victim reports and it questioned the independence of the company’s investigation. The UN group’s chairperson, Damilola Olawuyi, explained to reporters that some of the alleged victims claimed they had been assaulted more than 40 times. The youngest victims were of elementary school age at the time of the alleged abuse.
“We were also alerted to excessively long working hours and issues related to unfair subcontracting relationships in the animation sector, with creators often given contracts that inadequately protect their intellectual property rights,” it continued.
