TOKYO (TR) – Prosecutors have announced the non-prosecution of a former employee of Sekisui House Co. over the alleged molestation of a woman inside a karaoke parlor earlier this year, reports Nippon News Network (June 5).
On January 21, Yuki Nagae, then an employee at the home builder, allegedly fondled the chest of the woman, aged in her 20s, inside a stall of a men’s toilet inside the parlor, located in Setagaya Ward.
The Seijo Police Station police announced the arrest of Nagae on suspicion of indecent assault on May 15. At the time, he admitted to the allegations. He resigned from his post on May 14.
