A representative of an entertainment agency in Japan has been arrested by police for sexually assaulting an actor.

According to local reports on the 16th, Japanese police arrested Takuma Yamanaka (39), the head of an entertainment agency, on charges of adultery caused by professional power.

Yamanaka is accused of sexually assaulting actor A, who was in his 20s at the time, at the agency's office in Kasugabe, Saitama Prefecture, and nearby accommodation facilities in August 2023. He was found to have committed the crime after luring A to the outside, saying, "Let's take a walk," to create a situation where he was alone.

However, Yamanaka is reportedly denying the allegations, saying in a police investigation, "There was a sexual relationship, but there was no coercion."

Along with the incident, allegations of Yamanaka's false career have also come under fire. He has reportedly introduced himself as a former Janice (now Smile-Up) and claimed to have been a backup dancer for a famous group for eight years. In past interviews, he was also found to have promoted himself as a "manager from former Johnny's."

However, as a result of local media's confirmation with Smile Up, Yamanaka reportedly has no history of belonging to the agency.
