 Obscene cases involving TV workers are often covered up,&#8221; said a current commercial TV worker.
 This is the opinion of an active commercial TV crew member.
 On August 26, a producer (P) in his 40s who belongs to TV Tokyo&#8217;s production department was sent to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for indecent acts, including kissing and touching an aspiring TV personality in her 20s in a cab after a drinking party. The incident came to light when the woman consulted the Metropolitan Police Department about the damage.

 The man told the Metropolitan Police that he had no memory of the incident.
 &#8220;I have no memory of it.
 The man told the Metropolitan Police Department that he had no recollection of the incident,
 &#8220;I don&#8217;t remember,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but if it was recorded on the cab&#8217;s drive recorder, I&#8217;m sure of it.
 The man admitted the charge.
 According to a source at the TV station, this kind of &#8220;sexual harassment&#8221; occurs frequently and is simply covered up by the TV station.
 The TV station staff told us that such &#8220;sexual harassment&#8221; was common, and that it was only covered up by the TV station. The chief producer of a TV program took a cab with a part-time girl and kissed her. It is almost the same composition as that of TV TOKYO&#8217;s P.
 For the women, it was a malicious act that took advantage of their sense of security that the manager would not commit an indecent act, and their fear that if they refused the ride, they might lose their good mood and be removed from their jobs. The TV station apologized sincerely, and the P was only left out of the loop, and there was no police action, no suspension, etc.&#8221;
 If it had not been publicized, the public would never have known about it. As long as the victim&#8217;s stomach is in check, she will never find out about it.

 Speaking of sexual harassment at TV stations, in 2001, it came to light that Mai Yamagishi, the anchor of &#8220;NEWS ZERO,&#8221; was sexually harassed and harassed by the program&#8217;s producer. The producer was apparently transferred at the time, but the matter would not have come to light if someone had not leaked the story to a weekly magazine.

For example, it was discovered that a male announcer at NTV had taken a female announcer out for drinks and had been sexually harassing her and committing many indecent acts. However, he was not punished much and was sent to a different department instead of the announcements department.
 In addition, at one local station, a female university student who came to the station to look for a job was taken out and sexually harassed under the guise of &#8220;studying. Although there were too many victims to count, this too was successfully covered up and never came to light. &#8230;&#8230;
 Another common occurrence in the industry is trouble between performers.

 A former professional baseball player who played for an Osaka team was a regular commentator on the program, and he made advances toward a young female performer and insisted on a physical relationship with her. The woman consulted with the program, and the former professional baseball player was fired from the program.
 If an announcer or performer disappears from a program without any notice of &#8220;graduation,&#8221; you should assume that something has happened. The upper management is thinking only of &#8220;not wanting to be in the public eye&#8221; anyway. &#8230;&#8230;
 It is said that big-name performers sometimes force the hand of young staff members, but this, too, is naturally hushed up. Staff members are probably in a weaker position in front of big-name performers. However, indecent assault and non-consensual sexual intercourse are serious crimes.

 Nowadays, they are often exposed on social networking sites with evidence, so it is not an era in which they can do whatever they want. There are many cases where a person cries himself to sleep, only to be exposed years later, so covering it up can have the opposite effect and lead to a huge firestorm when it comes to light.
 (Sports newspaper reporter) These cases are probably not limited to the TV industry. However, the &#8220;darkness&#8221; may be even deeper in this glamorous world.

 A producer of TV Tokyo in his 40s was sent to prosecution for indecent behavior toward a female college student in her 20s who aspired to become a TV personality. The "sexual harassment" in the TV industry, which has been widely reported in the past, has not disappeared yet. ......
