Kenshin Kamimura, a renowned Japanese pop idol, escapes imprisonment after being found guilty of indecent assault charges in Hong Kong.
In a recent development, J-pop idol Kenshin Kamimura has been found guilty of indecent assault in Hong Kong. The verdict was handed down on Aug. 13, 2025, at the West Kowloon Law Courts.
The incident occurred in a restaurant in the Mong Kok district, earlier this year in March. The victim was a woman who served as Kamimura's interpreter. The court fined him HK$15,000 (approximately $1,900), but he did not receive a jail sentence.
The magistrate condemned Kamimura's behaviour, stating that it "clearly shows disrespect for women" and praised the victim for her courage in coming forward. However, the identity of the victim and the details of the incident are not mentioned in the article.
There has been some confusion regarding Kamimura's plea, with an Instagram report suggesting he pleaded not guilty on August 21, 2025. However, the most recent and authoritative information confirms his conviction and sentencing by August 14, 2025.
Meanwhile, former K-pop group NCT member Taeil is facing a separate legal battle. He was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months for rape in an unspecified location. The details of the incident, including its location, are not provided in the article. The prosecution sought a 7-year sentence for Taeil.
It's important to note that the indecent assault case involving Kenshin Kamimura and the statutory rape case involving Taeil are two separate cases. The Incheon police officer, whose name is not mentioned, is also facing indictment for statutory rape, but no further details about this case are available at this time.
Fans of both artists have been emotional both before and after the verdicts, expressing their support for the victims and their concerns for the future of their favourite idols. The cases serve as a reminder of the importance of respect and consent in all interactions.
