Two foreign athletes from Africa who are participating in the 2011 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Daegu are being investigated by police after it was learned they had sexually molested two female Korean college students.
According to the Eastern Daegu Police Station on August 30, at approximately 8pm on August 25 the two foreign athletes greeted the two female Korean college students, who were working part-time jobs in the athlete village in eastern Daegu, and then grossly felt their bodies.
The foreigners told the female students they would greet them in the fashion of their country, and then touched their bodies, and continued to do so as they ran away for some 20 to 30 meters.
Feeling sexually humiliated, the female students made a report two days later and the foreigners are under investigation by police.
Police referred them to prosecutors for indictment, but the representatives of the victims received an apology from the coach of the national team involved and withdrew their complaint on the afternoon of the August 30, so the athletes cannot be arraigned.
The athletes, prohibited from leaving the country during the investigation, are now unindictable and planed to leave the country at 12.50am on August 31.
An official with the athlete village said of the incident that “we have asked that women who are approached by foreign athletes outside the athlete village approach them with caution, and regret that this ugly incident occurred.”
