NEWS Members Koyama Keiichiro & Kato Shigeaki Caught Coercing Underage Women To Drink Alcohol
Quote:
NEWS member Koyama Keiichiro (34) and Kato Shigeaki (30) have been caught coercing two underage women to drink alcohol.
Koyama and Shigeaki were at a party with the women this past winter. An audio recording was made during the party. The two can be heard encouraging the underage women to drink.
Tabloid magazine Shuukan Bunshun obtained a copy of the recording and plans to release the full audio. The magazine also reached out to Johnny & Associates before publishing the story. The company confirmed Koyama and Shigeaki were the ones on the recording.
According to Johnny & Associates, one of the women in the recording was 20-years-old, the legal drinking age in Japan, while the other was not someone the Koyama and Kato knew. However, Shuukan Bunshun was able to confirm that both women were underage at the time.
In addition, Shuukan Bunshun confirmed that Koyama knew both of the women involved in the incident, and had spent time with them on multiple occasions.
In April, former TOKIO member Yamaguchi Tatsuya was caught giving a 16-year-old high school girl alcohol before sexually assaulting her. Both Koyama and Shigeaki condemned giving an underage woman alcohol despite being guilty of the same action.

Ironically quite a lot of NEWS fans tweeted JPopAsia saying that it's rumours
Shuukan Bunshun is also the same tabloid that reported about now ex TOKIO's Yamaguchi troubles & Kanjani8's Subaru impending departure from the group which both turned out to be eventually true
JPopAsia didn't cite where the original source was but I think it should be from here

I think it means something for J&A to immediately comment about this cos normally tabloids will write a lot of rubbish and normally for Johnnys related stuff , they don't response straightaway & they only do that if it's legit
I'm curious to see what will happen in the next few days on this matter though
