Recently, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) helped an athlete enter the United States to compete in an event.

Tanveer Hussain and his team manager were denied visas after President Donald Trump signed his executive order on immigration and refugees, according to the Washington Post. India is not a country that was included in the ban, but the visas were denied nonetheless. The Senator petitioned for them to be able to enter the competitive event and gave them a warm welcome to America.

Now, that same athlete, Hussain, is in jail after a young girl said he sexually assaulted her. More from the Post:

The parents of the 12-year-old girl who was allegedly involved said the incident happened Monday, after the three-day snowshoe competition, and reported it to local authorities.

Chief Charles A. Potthast Jr. of the Saranac Lake Village police force said the girl was playing pool Monday afternoon with other young people at the inn where Hussain was staying.

“There was a moment when the two were alone, and that’s when the incident occurred,” Potthast said. The girl told police that there was a “passionate kiss” and that Hussain touched her in an intimate area on top of her clothing.

Hussain denies that he did this and awaits in jail on a $10,000 bond. 

The Blaze reports:

“It’s an unfortunate situation, both for the community there in the U.S. who supported us and the federation,” Mir told the Post. “We have full faith in the American law, and as there is a court proceeding going on, that is going to be my only comment.”

Mir added that Hussain wouldn’t have been able to come to the U.S. if it weren’t for the “personal efforts” of Schumer and junior New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D).

Keep reminding America, Mr. Mir.
