AKB48's Sashihara Rino of Team A will transfer over to HKT48. This was decided by producer Akimoto Yasushi on their radio program ANN. The reason for this transfer was Sashihara's recent scandal.
For those of you who didn't quite catch the recent scandal news, Sashihara was involved in a scandal that had to do with her ex-boyfriend. Her ex-boyfriend (Mr. A) released pictures and different statements regarding his time dating Sashihara when she was still 16 years old. He released pictures to the newspaper company "Shukan Bunshu" and also stated he still had her phone number. The company later called the number and confirmed that it was indeed, Sashihara.
She was really precocious, despite being a year younger than me. When I went in her room, she asked me "Are you just going to stand there looking at me?" and "Come over here," and then put my hand on her thigh. Something snapped in me then and I pushed her down and we kissed for the first time.
Sashihara Rino was voted number four in AKB48's recent General Election. But with this scandal (real or not), Akimoto Yasushi had to punish her or give her a time off. As a result he stated that he will give her a new start and transfer her to HKT48. Sashihara will also move to Hakata.
She sincerely apologized to her fans while crying on the radio program and also said she will work hard in HKT48.
Below is a speech made by Sashihara as she sincerely apologized to her fans, friends and family members and also said she will work hard in HKT48.

This was a jerk move on his part. I hope someone blackmails him.
This guy is a real jerk and idioit and everything -.-
I'd love to post his number, address and SNS information online. It's the least he deserves >:(
Aweful person!!! She's even crying like that
Bastard!
dAmMit ... right in the guts!! That "Mr A" ... finally Sasshi got 4th in the Senbatsu and now this....she worked really hard...she didnt deserve this...It's like having cold water after a refreshing hot bath!!!
Anyway...i hope she can fit in the new team and that she can shine even more....Ganbatte Sasshi!!! GO SASSHI...LOVE U!!!
damn...i wish i could skin the "guy" alive...
AW thts too bad wat a stupid ex boyfriend, tht was just cruel
That's not fair to her. Why would he want to make something like that public, especially after the elections? What "lesson" will she learn from this? She worked this hard to get where she is only to get demoted. Such a shame not fair at all. That guy is a real snake.
Seriously? She was 16! Things like this happen and... well, the guy is obviously a jerk but she doesn't deserve to be punished... I'm not even a fan of AKB48 but this is just ridiculous.
i agree with pipa and Mirkaa! it insnt fair for her! the past should just be the past and left at that, such a low trick for such a low life person to commit!
this is really awful
poor girl! why cant he move on already, this is quite a low trick.
stupid person =.= I don't know if this is true or not - but it is in the PAST!! I think ( not sure ) that she wasn't in AKB either that time :X People need to calm down and stop bugging into other people's privacy! :X
I will support you even in HKT 
LOVE YOU SASSHI :3
This story is too suspicious to believe in. The said article came out a few days after the akb senbatsu elections, where everyone was talking about Sasshi. Jealousy or perhaps hatred? I dont know but it was a low trick.
The media doesn't treat light "scandals" (truth or not).
But fans will still be fans. Her moving to HKT could be seen as a demotion or could be seen as way to protect her. On the radio program, Akimoto Yasushi himself avoided the word "penalty".
To me, it seems that some people were trying to taint her image. Unfortunately, they did it. Why the dishonest ones always manage to hurt the others?
