Brazil's police arrested a Namibian boxer registered to participate in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro for alleged sexual harassment, informed local media on Monday.

Jonas Junius, 22, allegedly tried to kiss a waitress from a hotel in the Olympic Village on Sunday and he offered her money in exchange for sexual relations. The Brazilian waitress refused to agree to this and went to the police.

This is the second athlete that has been arrested by Brazil's police within three days of the Games starting, after Moroccan boxer Hassan Saada, 22, was arrested last week.

Saada was detained for allegedly sexually assaulting two waitresses in an Olympic Village hotel while in the presence of other athletes that did nothing to defend the women.

Saada was eliminated from the competition before even having competed and he was transported to jail.
