CHIBA (TR) – Former television personality Bobby Ologun pleaded guilty on Friday to sexually assaulting a female acquaintance under the pretense of giving her a massage at his vacation home in Chiba Prefecture.
Appearing at the Chiba District Court wearing a suit, sunglasses, and a cap, the 60-year-old — whose legal name is Bobby Konda — removed his headwear and glasses before the bench, appearing composed alongside an interpreter.
When the presiding judge asked for his occupation, Ologun responded in English, “CEO,” which the interpreter clarified as running his own company.
According to the prosecution, the incident occurred in April. After dining together at a restaurant, Ologun brought the woman to his villa. Later that evening, Ologun allegedly lured her into a room, saying, “Let’s go to bed. I want to give you an authentic massage,” before forcing himself upon her.
The woman repeatedly pleaded, “Please stop,” and attempted to escape, but Ologun dragged her back and continued the assault. Following the ordeal, the victim consulted the police, leading to his arrest approximately two months later.
At the time of his arrest, Ologun denied the allegations, telling investigators that “the facts are completely different.”
However, during Wednesday’s first hearing, Ologun completely reversed his stance. When the judge asked if there were any inaccuracies in the indictment, Ologun bluntly answered, “No.”
The defense confirmed it will not contest the facts of the case. The next court hearing is scheduled for December 19.
