That is sad news to hear, and I am certain Japanese boards that used to praise her are now full of vile, disgusting, and unjust remarks about her career.

There was a rumor awhile back that was pondering becoming an AV idol. I wonder if there might have been some truth to that.

That is pretty much the standard rumor that circulates when ever there is an affair going on involving a woman that has garnered some notoriety in Japanese media.
It is pretty much a back handed public remark that is spelling out that "the only way you can get work in front of a camera now is by being a whore because you have been outed as one".
The most recent American cultural counterpart would be Miley Cyrus and her VMA debacle, except in the US instead of shaming them out of the spotlight such acts simply garner MORE attention to the media personality, and certainly no one in the US thinks Miley is going to change her career to become an active porn actress.

She's on indeterminate hiatus, not retired.

That would be Minami Minegishi from AKB48.

Agreed. |
This is it exactly. While there is the chance of her never becoming active again, right now it's simply labeled as a hiatus (the word for retirement is not used). She's even posted on her blog about it, talking about how she hopes to return to work one day and reboot her career.
