According to Expressen, which was the first to report on the indictment, it concerns the sexual harassment of a woman.
Mats Årjes was informed of the suspicions on Monday morning and denies any crime.
- In the situation as it is, it's just as well that they get to try this, then you get to account for obviously completely different experiences of what has happened.
That's the only thing I can say, it's word for word, says Årjes to SVT Sport.
Årjes, who in addition to being chairman of SOK is also a board member of the International Ski Federation, says that he is temporarily stepping aside.
