Fuji TV settled with the victim of a “sexual violence” incident — which occurred as an extension of the company’s operations involving former TV personality Masahiro Nakai and a former female announcer at the broadcaster — with an apology and compensation.

According to the network’s statement released Thursday, Fuji TV President Kenji Shimizu apologized in-person to the unnamed woman over the incident, as well as the fact that the company did not respond appropriately despite her having reported the misconduct to the company.

The company also took responsibility for having caused her additional emotional distress due to its initial reactions to the incident. The amount of the compensation was not disclosed.

“We express our deepest gratitude and sincere respect to Ms. A for giving us this opportunity to apologize,” the statement read.

In the meeting with the woman, Fuji TV also expressed its commitment to protecting her from any further verbal harassment and cyberbullying over the incident. The broadcaster also agreed to compensate for the financial and mental damages she received due to the company’s poor handling of the incident.

The major TV network has been embroiled in the series of scandals since the end of last year, when two weekly magazines reported on allegations of “serious trouble” between the woman and Nakai, a former member of boy band SMAP.

A third-party report on the company released in March described the incident as “sexual violence” that occurred as an extension of how the TV network operated, bringing to light its poor handling of the aftermath as well as a culture of harassment.

However, Nakai’s side has been disputing the third-party report arguing that the characterization of the incident being “sexual violence” was incorrect. On Friday, Nakai’s lawyer released a statement following reports on Fuji TV’s meeting with the woman, saying that “both parties have the same human rights” and asking the media to be careful in the language they use when covering the case, TV Asahi reported.

Since the incident, Fuji TV has revamped the company’s board, as well as its parent company’s board members, aside from the newly appointed Shimizu. The company and its executives are committed to plans of reform to reinvent their company and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
