GWANGJU, South Korea: Hungarian swimmer Tamas Kenderesi has apologised for"thoughtlessly touching" a nightclub dancer after being arrested on sexual harassment charges during the world championships.
"After coming back from the toilets and heading towards the dance floor, I touched the backside of a Korean girl who was working as a dancer at the club," the swimmer said in a statement. "Realising the seriousness of the situation, I was absolutely cooperative throughout the entire process," added Kenderesi, who finished last in the men's 200m butterfly final last week."I deeply regret what happened and I wish to beg for the Korean girl's forgiveness. But I strongly deny that I'm guilty in any kind of sexual harassment."
Kenderesi added that he had not been shown the video of the incident but insisted:"I honestly believe my words will be justified by the footage I did not commit any serious offence. However, I have to understand that I hurt certain moral norms, which are the foundations of the local values."
