Takahashi denies being victim of sexual harassment

poor boy ! Too young to know what's sexual harassment.

Wow, a 28 year old man is too young to know what sexual harassment is, when most 13 year old are aware of it? Poor child, as a former victim of SH when I was a kid, your logic scares me.

What else could he say? She is his boss. I was not happy with the way Japan Skating Federation was operated anyway. She should move on.

No offense to Takahashi, who is a credit to the nation, but I have yet to meet any woman who regards him as a "heartthrob." Some of the men might, though ...

After all of this sexist publicity, will Abe still consider Hashimoto for a post in his new cabinet? If he does give her something ... well ... perhaps it will take the spotlight off his wacky Abenomics stuff for a while ...

I think this is a case of media and the people making mountains out of molehills. Relax people, the guy's fine and Seiko already apologized for the actions that everyone took as sexual harassment saying she didn't mean for them to be misinterpreted in that way.

I completely agree.

Thank God, he is not American. He would sue his boss, giving interviews here and there about "sexual harassment".

Ah party (pun intended ) Politics- really cross cultures i see. but it is unfortunate that with this slip Hashimoto will probably need to step aside, Takahashi will keep moving forward.

the truth may come out in the future- who knows what it is- but it will not matter by then. the truth never does when the media hype is going
