A Namibian boxer, Jonas Junius has been arrested by Brazilian
police on suspicion of attempting to sexually assault a maid in the Rio de
Janeiro Olympic village.
She alleged Junius, 22, who is competing in the light welter
weight division had grabbed her and tried to kiss her. She also accused
him of offering her money to have sex.
Last week, a Moroccan boxer was arrested by police after
allegedly assaulting two female cleaners, BBC reports.
Junius, Namibia's flag-bearer in the opening ceremony last
Friday, is scheduled to fight French boxer Hassan Anzille on 11 August. But
that could also be in doubt if he has to remain in custody.
