Sex Abuse Helpline

The Japanese government will set up a hotline for male victims of sexual abuse, a minister announced on Tuesday, as the country grapples with an abuse scandal at the biggest boyband agency.

Special investigators probing the Pollachi sex abuse case said that many women, who had been targeted, called the police helpline alleging sexual harassment, blackmail and extortion by the accused in jail now but none of them are ready to file a written complaint. Only one survivor, a college student, has filed a complaint.
