Taichi Kokubun Controversy: Should Allegations of Obscene Images and Power Harassment Be Reported to the Police?

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.
