Mainichi Daily News reported, “Ex-pop star Yuki Goto has been sentenced to 5 1/2 years in jail by the Tokyo District Court, after he was found guilty of beating a security guard and stealing hundreds of meters of power cables.”

“Goto, 21, was convicted of theft, robbery and assault by Presiding Judge Masahiko Hayashi, who blasted him in his ruling.”

“Your greedy motives mean there is no room for leniency,” Hayashi decreed, although he stopped short of sentencing him for the full eight years recommended by prosecutors.
