Japanese idol-actor Kenshin Kamimura has been convicted of sexual assault.
The former member of pop group One N' Only was found guilty by West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on Aug 13 for molesting a 27-year-old female interpreter at a March celebration banquet after a fan-meet in Hong Kong.
According to media reports, Kenshin, 26, allegedly touched the woman's thigh repeatedly and also invited her to the bathroom.
Kenshin was issued a HK$15,000 (S$2,500) fine.
According to South China Morning Post, judge Peter Yu said: "Some people may feel the defendant's acts were very trivial. There were even opinions accusing the victim of making a fuss about nothing. I don't agree.
"The defendant's acts were clearly disrespectful of women. They deserve condemnation because they violated Hong Kong law."
Kenshin rose to fame after starring in the hit boys' love series Our Youth (2024-2025).
He was dropped from One N' Only when he was detained by the police, with their agency Stardust Promotion citing a "serious compliance violation".

South Korean singer Kim Jong-kook announces marriage
Sorry ladies, one of South Korea's most eligible bachelors is officially off the market. Popular entertainer Kim Jong-kook announced on Monday (Aug 18) that he will be getting married soon. The 49-year-old singer took to his fan cafe to reveal the news, adding that the wedding will be "held in the near future, in a small setting with family and a few close friends". Kim wrote: "At some point, I always thought to myself that a day would come when I would write and post something like this, so I kept preparing for it in my heart. But now that I am actually writing it, I feel much more nervous and anxious than I had imagined....I am getting married." "I know that for many of you, the news will feel quite sudden. This year marks my 30th debut anniversary and instead of making the album I was supposed to make, I ended up making my other half." "I will do my best to live well. The wedding will be held in the near future, in a small setting with family and a few close friends," added Kim. He also thanked his fans who had been his "greatest strength for such a long time". "I will continue to be a Kim Jong-kook who works harder and lives diligently." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jk (@kjk76) According to Kim, he had been "dropping small hints here and there" about his marriage. Early this year, Kim purchased a luxury villa in the Gangnam district of Seoul, reportedly worth 6.2 billion won (US$4.48 million). When asked about his purchase during a variety show, Kim said that he did not have someone to marry yet but if he did, "that house would become [their] newlywed house". The identity of Kim Jong-kook's partner has yet to be revealed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JJ Lin (@jjlin)
