Question from a reader:
If the rumors about Taichi Kokubun sending obscene images to staff and engaging in power harassment are true, shouldn’t this be a matter to consult the police? If such incidents did occur, it’s also possible that, like Nakai, he might have paid a settlement and chose not to involve the police. What do you think?
Reflecting on
Taichi Kokubun’s Issues
Recently, news concerning Taichi Kokubun has become a hot topic. There are rumors that he sent obscene images to staff and engaged in power harassment. If this is true, I believe it is indeed a matter that should be reported to the police. Legally, obscene acts and power harassment are serious issues, and it is important for victims to take action to protect their rights.
The Possibility of a Settlement
Considering Nakai’s case, paying a settlement and choosing not to involve the police could be one option. However, just because a settlement was paid does not necessarily mean the issue is resolved. Particularly, there is a possibility that the victim may carry emotional scars. This makes it evident that consulting the police remains crucial. I recall learning about “victim’s rights” in a law class. The professor emphasized repeatedly that “the law exists to protect people,” which left a strong impression on me. The existence of laws provides victims with a means to voice their concerns, which I believe is incredibly important.
What Are Your Thoughts?
Now, what do you all think? If you were in the same situation, how would you act? I believe it’s essential to speak up about even the smallest issues. I would be happy to hear about your experiences and opinions. Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments, and I would love to discuss them together.
