Actually, this isn't quite true.  IIRC, Kasumi does get molested in the
"Copycat Ken" anime episode, by both Happosai and Ken.

That depends on what you consider "canon", m'dear Angus. I, for one, do not
consider "Copycat Ken" to be canon because the storyline has no close match
to the manga, which is the One True Word of Takahashi-megamisama. For those
who do not consider that episode to be canon, Kasumi has never been
molested by Happousai.
	The trick is that the author has stated that he considers that
episode canon with regard to the fict.  Ken got mentioned in part 4, and was
admitted to be featured in a future part as well.

Okay, I'll give you that. Kasumi has been molested by Happosai in this
continuity.

Or was it actually Copycat Ken? Kenjiko can use that excuse to get out of
it. Also, even if Kasumi was molested by Happy, does Kuno _know_ this? He's
not omniscient, you know (far from it). Kenjiko can use that excuse.
However, these are cop-outs.

[snip]
This brings forth the question;
    In the OAV storyline, does Kuno know that Kasumi was molested?

Actually, Angus is becoming really really sorry he ever brought the episode
up...

Frankly, I think that the very _best_ solution here would be for
everyone to stop quibbling over what is, after all, a very minor
story point.  I know I'm going to...
