Sexual assault convictions
Sexual assault convictions
In March 2022, four actresses came forward with allegations that, beginning in 2011, Sakaki had coerced them into non-consensual sexual relationships. Sakaki had admitted to having intercourse with three of the four women, claiming it was consensual; he denied having any kind of relationship with the fourth woman. Houka Kinoshita, a close friend of Sakaki who had also appeared in several of Sakaki's films, had also been accused of sexual assault by three different women. The victims allege that Kinoshita and Sakaki collaborated in sexual coercion by introducing young women to each other that were looking to break into the film industry. Shortly after the allegations surfaced, Sakaki's wife Izumi released a statement apologizing to the victims and confirming to end her marriage with Sakaki. On 20 February 2024, Sakaki was arrested after a woman then in her 20s accused him of sexually assaulting her at a condominium in Minato, Tokyo, under pretenses of providing acting advice in 2016. On 6 March 2026, Sasaki was sentenced to eight years in prison for the sexual assault of two women.
