A powerful Japanese entertainment company tarnished by sexual assault allegations against its late founder has appointed one of its stars as its new president after the previous chief resigned and apologized for the abuse young clients suffered over decades.

“A horrendous crime has been committed,” Higashiyama told reporters at a Tokyo hotel, bowing deeply several times with Fujishima.A new company structure, which will include an outside compliance officer, will be announced next month, Fujishima said.

The news conference was the first since several people came forward this year, alleging they were sexually assaulted by Kitagawa. Many of the victims were members of a backup group called Johnny’s Jr., who danced and sang behind bigger stars. One man who came forward recently said he was routinely molested when Kitagawa had yet to found his company. He was just 8 years old.
