In a nutshell (some details were ommitted otherwise it would be way too long):
-In 2005, Sakurai and that woman (called B in the original Bunshun article) met and kept in touch through mails.
-In 2006, they went on a date and things escalated.
-A while later, B soon realized Sakurai was dating a seiyuu (called X) because she saw a mail from that seiyuu calling him by his first name by accident
-Her suspicions were confirmed with the content of X's messages
-She never confronted Sakurai but couldn't keep it up and broke with him in 2009
-In 2016, they were reunited by accident for work. Sakurai wanted to know how it was going for her, and it seems she couldn't get over him, and thus they resumed dating in 2017.
-In 2018, Sakurai's behaviour shifted (the nude photo requests thing), which incidentally happened around the time he got married.
-In 2021, B suspected Sakurai was still dating X, but it appears that after investigating stuff, it wasn't X, but another woman Y (now his current wife) as she found out with that woman changing her surname. She is shocked since it has been more than 2 years he was married and depressed but doesn't do much.
-Still in 2022, on 13th June (Sakurai's birthday), she decides to break up again.
-Yet, she didn't want to bring more problems on his plate and remained silent.
-Then, after seeing what happened with A (that Radio staff who knew absolutely nothing and was sent to the hospital), she felt conflicted because Sakurai never mentioned her with his apologies andwhatnot, so she asked him answers by mail. Sakurai didn't gave her a proper answer according to her, so she decided to do the dirty laundry as she felt her efforts were wasted on him.

It is worth noting that unlike woman A, B hasn't attracted that much sympathy from the public considering the timing and her demands for money. Moreover, she knew about Sakurai's womanizer tendencies, so her giving another shot years later without confronting him even once doesn't really help her case.

In summary, the current number of involved parties is 4 (for now):
-A (the radio staff woman)
-B (the woman involved with the most recent revelations)
-X (that Seiyuu who dated Sakurai around 2006)
-Y, his wife who was acquainted with Sakurai since their training school days.
