U.N. group says people abused by late Japanese boy band producer deserve apologies and compensation The men who came forward to allege they were sexually abused as teenagers by Japanese boy band producer Johnny Kitagawa now have a powerful listener: the United Nations. Damilola Olawuyi, chair of the U.N. Working Group on Business and Human Rights, told reporters Friday the number of victims may total several hundred, and he accused Japan's mainstream media of standing silent about the alleged abuse for decades. Olawuyi raised serious questions about the sincerity of the response from the talent agency Kitagawa founded, Johnny & Associates.
