Japan Footballer Kaishu Sano Released After Sexual Assault Arrest
Japan footballer Kaishu Sano has been released more than two weeks after being arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman, his management company said. It was unclear however whether the case against the 23-year-old, who recently signed for top-flight German side Mainz, has been dropped over the alleged incident on July 14. German media reports quoted unnamed sources as saying that no charges would be filed against the footballer. "I offer my sincere apology to the victim for my actions that caused great trouble," Sano said in the statement issued by his management company on Monday, the same day as his release.
