Shingi Saito of the comedy duo &#8220;Jungle Pocket&#8221; is in a dire situation.
It has come to light that he was sent for prosecution on October 7 for charges including coercing a woman in her twenties into sexual acts inside a location bus. His agency, Yoshimoto Kogyo, has terminated his contract with him.
Saito stated to the police:
&#8220;I regret my reckless behavior and the trouble it caused to the other party and their family.&#8221;
On the other hand, he claims that there was consent between him and the victim.
&#8220;I had consent with the victim.&#8221;
He is reportedly asserting that there was consent.
&#8220;Looking at Saito&#8217;s comments, it’s unclear whether he fully admits to the crime. However, one thing that can be said is that his statement to the police reflects consideration for the victim. It&#8217;s likely that, based on his lawyer&#8217;s advice, he chose his words carefully to avoid provoking the other party in hopes of reaching a settlement.&#8221; (legal industry insider).
However, his wife, Saori Seto, seemingly shattered those settlement plans.
<h2>The enraged victim issued an unusual statement.</h2>
On October 7, she wrote on Instagram.
&#8220;It is true that there were actions from the other party, and we followed each other on social media and exchanged contact information.&#8221;
She added, 
&#8220;It was not a unilateral act.&#8221;
With supporting fire. Saito and Seto have a 4-year-old son.
&#8220;I also have a child that needs to be protected, so I wanted to convey this.&#8221;
She explained.
In response, the victim became enraged and communicated with the media through her representative.
&#8220;A comment has been made that is factually incorrect, as if I am the one at fault.&#8221;
She issued an unusual statement. According to a sports newspaper entertainment reporter:
&#8220;I understand the feelings of Seto, who has children. However, in this case, I can only say that it was a hasty move. By provoking the victim, a settlement has become more distant.&#8221;
One has to wonder whether Seto and Saito were unable to coordinate their comments or communicate their intentions beforehand.

According to the aforementioned reporter.
&#8220;Saito is currently living separately from his wife and child. Seto&#8217;s claims are based on information he had previously explained to her. She was conveying what she heard from her husband.&#8221;
It is said.
Amidst all this, fellow comedians who know Saito are reportedly feeling a sense of unease.
<h2>He was also warned by the agency&#8217;s executives regarding debt issues.</h2>
&#8220;No one speaks ill of Saito as a comedian. On the other hand, his relationships with women and spending habits have always been precarious. He stepped down from a show due to past infidelity reports, yet he messed up again this time, right? He had been joking around with those close to him, saying, &#8216;I&#8217;m done with women&#8217; and &#8216;I have a family now, so I need to be more careful.&#8217; Hearing that, his fellow comedians were disheartened by this incident, thinking, &#8216;Was it all a lie&#8230;'&#8221;
Saito, known as a gambling fanatic who serves as the MC for a horse racing program, had borrowed money from numerous unspecified comedian friends. Unable to stand by and watch, executives from Yoshimoto Kogyo told Saito.
&#8220;Be careful.&#8221;
seemingly unaffected, Saito.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve already quit gambling.&#8221;
It was said that he would often talk like this.
&#8220;Of course, that&#8217;s a complete lie. Saito has a habit of lying, you know. Getting caught and then scolded is his usual pattern,&#8221; said a person in the comedy industry who knows Saito.
 
In this incident, a reporter from Bunshun sensed Saito&#8217;s anomaly and confronted him over the phone, but Saito responded regarding the women&#8217;s troubles.
&#8220;Eh? Is that kind of story circulating?&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s absolutely no such thing.&#8221;
He responded with that.
The aforementioned comedian colleague stated,
&#8220;That&#8217;s why there&#8217;s a possibility that what Saito told his wife has been interpreted to suit his convenience. I want Saito to tell the truth.&#8221;
He says.
If he were to be indicted, Saito would become a defendant in a criminal trial, and if found guilty, he would likely face incarceration. To avoid this, reaching a settlement with the victim is essential, but will that go smoothly?
