The Tokyo District Court fined television personality Dewi Sukarno, also known as Dewi Fujin, 200,000 yen on October 6. The court ruled that the 86-year-old had assaulted two women who worked for her agency, including a former manager. The judge accepted the prosecution's request for the fine. The assault on the former manager involved repeatedly striking her in the chest and abdomen, as well as kicking her.

During the trial, Sukarno initially admitted to the charges and expressed remorse, but later denied some of the allegations during a September 8 hearing.
