Point of fact.  The facts of the case are that the allegations were merely the testimony of a woman on trial for DUI who was trying to get out of a costly conviction.  Police and the state's attorney investigated but found her claims without merit.  Ninomiya was never arrested, never charged and never convicted of anything.  The only one arrested, charged and put on trial was the woman making the allegation.

One of Emily Carlson's passions is traveling. I love to go to new places and try new things. One of my favorite cities is Paris.

The museums, the language, the food.. everything is fantastic and beautiful. The d'Orsay would have to be my favorite museum.. the Degas and Monets are well worth the admission fee.. and don't forget one day a week you can get in for FREE. I don't ... Read Full Story

StarTribune gives a nice overview of this scandal: Kent Ninomiya , a former KSTP-TV anchor, got himself mixed up in a scandalously sordid Illinois court case. In a criminal trial last week, a defense attorney successfully argued that Ninomiya and Emily Carlson , both now former employees of WICD-TV in central Illinois, planned a sexual encounter in which station intern Erin Davis was plied with vodka to get her to comply. Ninomiya and Carlson are not charged in the case. So Kent wasn't actually on trial when this information and these accusations were surfaced.  But he's under a lot of attention now! Davis may ...
