Detective Rodrigo Amorim said: "I can confirm that a Namibian athlete named Jonas Junias Jonas was arrested this morning on suspicion of attempted rape of a female in the Olympic Village.

"The incident occurred last week. The accused has been detained in Recreio police station and unless he gets habeas corpus he will be transferred to prison in Bangu later today."

Amateur boxer Jonas burst onto the boxing scene at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games when he claimed a silver medal and podium finish.

On Friday, it was claimed Saada, also 22, asked both his alleged victims into his room to take a selfie.

When they entered, the boxer is said to have fondled the thighs of one woman and touched the breasts of the other.

After taking a picture he is said to have "cornered" one girl and tried to kiss her by force.

The boxer then allegedly offered the other woman money to masturbate him.

According to the Brazilian Criminal Code, a crime of rape occurs if the author forces the victim to have sexual intercourse, to practice lewd acts or forces the victim into performing a sexual act.

Any sexual act that is performed without consent is considered rape.

The Namibia embassy declined to comment. The Rio 2016 committee spokesperson said it is a police investigation and they would be following the case.
