Baptiste Moirot, 29, accused on social networks of sending sexual messages to minors. The organizing Committee of the Olympic Games had requested him after a petition signed hundreds of thousands of times.

As of Wednesday, he apologized in his Instagram story. He said he was grateful to all those who supported him and offered his sincere apologies to those I may have disappointed. The 29-year-old young man, whose mother assured in the video that he was not clean, was accused of having sent messages of a sexual nature to minors in the past. He was already an adult at the time, according to one of the alleged victims, who shared a screenshot of a conversation, in which Baptiste allegedly declared to a girl: "You'll see when you have it in your mouth if it's small." He said that he made the decision to withdraw from the torch relay out of respect and to protect my safety. He is a father of one. He has said he is determined to learn from his past mistakes.
