This is where I read about it (don't know if there's articles with more details)

Thanks for the link. It honestly makes me feel depressed, just when his career was about to take off he pulls a stunt like that... With the money he could have made he could have just bought prostitutes or paid a kid to do it. Still absolutely wrong but at least he wouldn't have been caught so easily. Who in, their right mind thinks they could get away with it in public like that even if it was at night, it gets much brighter in the summer. Now it gets me wondering how many other authors are like this... I'm glad to know he is getting punished for his crime.
...what the-? I stopped reading this to stock pile and I come back to see the comments on this and Im shocked? Is that the right word..? May I ask what happened? When did this happen and how were they caught, was it someone really young? Oh God I feel like a pedo now and I'm not even the one who did the molesting and I'm not even 18 yet but dang..! I really hope it wasn't something really serious, well I mean it IS serious but hopefully not extremely serious. I'm never going to look at this ever again, so many hours wasted on this, I'm not even going to catch up on the twenty odd chapters have missed.
Does anyone know the links to the story? I really hope that the artist isn't screwed, but knowing how society is I probably think she will be. I can already imagine all the people that will call her a pedo even though she hasn't done anything. Oh God..! What if he's done something bad to the artist as well? Japan doesn't talk very often about these things, he probably hasn't but still...
