Jul 19 (Japan Today) - Police arrested a university student from Uzbekistan on Sunday on suspicion of raping a Japanese woman while the two were working part time at the National Stadium for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.
Davronbek Rakhmatullaev, 30, a part-time Olympics worker who had entered the stadium to provide meals to the press, is suspected of sexually assaulting the woman in her 20s at seats and in an aisle at the venue around 9 p.m. Friday, the police said.
