Games masseur on assault charge
A member of India's support team for the Commonwealth Games has been charged with indecent assault, according to Australian police.
The man, who has not been named, was working as a masseur on the team.
He has been charged with one count of indecent assault and one of unlawful assault against a 16-year-old working as a cleaner in the athletes' village.
He was released on bail and will appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday, police said.
The incident and its timing threatened to tarnish the opening of the games, also on Wednesday.
A spokesman for the Indian team told the Associated Press that the man had denied the charges.
He has been suspended from his duties pending the outcome of the case.
Each charge can carry a maximum penalty of two years in prison.
The state of Victoria's Commonwealth Games minister, Justin Madden, compared the village that houses 5,800 athletes and officials with any small town.
"You'd expect with that many people that you'd have incidents that are comparable to any demographic of 6,000 people," he said.
