Naked wrestling ‘was voluntary’
A Wallonian couple has denied that anyone was forced to participate in the topless wrestling matches recently organised at a Rochefort school. The man and woman also deny underage youths were involved. The Dinant public prosecution office is investigating the case, but no one has been officially charged. The couple’s lawyer has since warned they will demand damages from public broadcaster RTBF, which pointed an accusing finger at the man and woman on Wednesday night.
