Sexual harassment?
Olympics: Gold winner’s father arrested
Excitement at the Olympic Games: The father of Olympic judo champion Barbara Matic was arrested in Paris. The accusation: he allegedly sexually harassed a volunteer.
The Croatian Barbara Matic won the gold medal in the 70 kg weight category on Wednesday (bronze went to the Austrian Michaela Polleres). Her triumph was Croatia's first gold medal at the Olympic Games in Paris. But this is now overshadowed by a serious accusation.
Kiss after victory?
Because shortly afterwards, her father was taken into police custody. He is suspected of sexually harassing a volunteer coach, according to several French media outlets, including the news website BFM TV. The lady, who is responsible for spectator seating at the Olympic Games, described how she was kissed by Matic's father without her consent after his daughter had won her quarter-final fight.
The Olympic volunteer immediately filed a complaint and an investigation is now underway. Matic has not yet commented on the allegations against her father.
