Taku Sekine: Top chef 'takes own life' after assault allegations

Taku Sekine is said to have fallen into depression after "false" sexual assault allegations.

A Japanese chef known for his restaurant in Paris has died of suicide, his family says.
Taku Sekine took his own life on Monday after he was the target of "false" sexual assault claims, a statement from his relatives said.
His restaurant, Dersou, was named best in France in 2016 by Fooding.
No official complaint had been made against Sekine and he was not being investigated by police. He had denied the allegations.
Sekine, 39, trained with famous French chef Alain Ducasse in Tokyo and then the Plaza Athénée in Paris.
He went on to open Dersou in 2016. It won "the best in France" by the Fooding guide the same year. In 2019, he opened Asian fusion restaurant Cheval d'Or which also won an award.
Over the summer, an Instagram post from an alleged victim said she had been sexually assaulted by an unnamed chef. Women in the industry put their support behind the woman, Eater reports.

Unfortunately, many of those who pushed for Me2 to be so heavily pushed and supported. Simply do not care.

In some aspects of this specific case (and some others) yes. That doesn't mean the entire concept is wrong. Any kind of serious accusation like this should be properly investigated by the relevant authorities. The problem is that in many cases that is actively prevented from happening.

do you think that its so kind of rapers conspiracy ? and policemen don't "properly investigate" "serious accusation" because they are mostly men?

There is no conspiracy but the problems faced by anyone (male or female) reporting sexual offences are well documented. Victims not formally reporting incidents is both a symptom and cause.

I think the whole "Me Too" thing is having all sorts of different impacts, positive and negative (though some of the negatives are often much higher profile, as could be the case here). It isn't a singular solution to anything but it isn't a singular problem in itself either. If anything, it's becoming a largely meaningless label to be stuck on pretty much anything, good and bad.
 
poundme2 has gone way to far, it was an anti man operation from the start

we have so many cases of men committing suicide because of false accusations and everyone turns an eye

Well it's sad but it didnt even get investigated. He just took offense and over-reacted IMO. That's acting a bit precipitously, very much like a teen-ager.

Is there indication that the accusation is just malicious in nature?
