Story out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:
A Moroccan Olympic boxer was arrested Friday on allegations he sexually assaulted two Brazilian housekeepers in the Olympic Village.
Police said the possible attacks by Hassan Saada happened Wednesday. The women filed a report this week, saying the 22-year-old boxer asked them to go to his room, then restrained and fondled them, chief investigator Carolina Salomao said.
"They were cleaning the room right across his, and he assaulted them. He groped the breast of one of them and touched the other woman's thigh. They were able to get out," Salomao told reporters.
Saada will be jailed for 15 days while they investigate. Under Brazilian law, suspects can be held for a long period while a case is examined.
Saada, a light heavyweight boxer, was scheduled to fight in the preliminary rounds Saturday against Mehmet Nadir of Turkey. Saada was not predicted to be a medal contender. Cont. (Video/Autoplay
