Kenshin Kamimura, one of the biggest celebs in Japan and a former member of the idol group ONE N’ ONLY, has come under fire after being found guilty of indecent assault.Kenshin Kamimura has been found guilty of sexual assaultIn a recent court hearing, the J-pop star was found guilty of assaulting an interpreter at a fan event. At the court hearing, as per reports from The Japan Times, the star denied the allegations and asked for a change of sentence, which was denied. He was even fined 15,000 HKD.The incident reportedly took place in March earlier this year, during a dinner, where one of the interpreters working with Kenshin at the event alleged that he had touched her thighs inappropriately multiple times. She also shared that, in an inebriated state, after getting rejected multiple times by her, he kept on making advances, and even used a translation application to make lewd comments about her as well. Request for leniencyAt the official court hearing for the case, the actor/idol’s legal representation had requested leniency. They had used past life experiences, such as the loss of his father when he was only 10 years old, and being raised by a single mother and sister, as valid enough reasons for leniency in the matter.They had also added that the idol had been in Hong Kong since March alone due to the case, and even had a huge amount to pay to his former management company after his contract had ended.Official court rulingThe official court ruling revealed that the idol had been fined for a sentence that normally demands ten years in jail. Citing that one of the reasons for the leniency in punishment comes from the fact that he has been removed from his management company and has also been fined by them as well. While the penalty amount ruled by the court is minimal, the star has also been ordered by his former management agency to pay them a hefty fine of almost 3 million HKD.
