Our World (2007)

Episode Overview

Japan is grappling with its largest child sex abuse scandal ever, following a BBC report that exposed Johnny Kitagawa, the influential figure in J-pop, for a lifetime of sexual abuse against young boys in his talent agency. Nearly 1,000 men have stepped forward as victims of Kitagawa's actions. Unfortunately, the hostile environment toward survivors has led to online harassment, with devastating outcomes for some. Additionally, the broader narrative of abuse within the agency remains largely unaddressed. Mobeen Azhar delves into the fallout from this predator's actions.
