韩国近日主办的第一届“亚太世界小姐”选美比赛爆出性骚扰黑幕，在国内三度获得选美冠军的一位英国佳丽愤然退赛。

A triple-crowned beauty queen from Bristol has claimed she had to leave a competition in South Korea because she feared for her safety.

Amy Willerton, 19, the title holder¹ of Miss Bath, Miss Bristol and Ms Wales University competed in Miss Asia Pacific World earlier this month.

But she alleged² competitors were sexually harassed³ and bribed⁴ and were not provided with food.

Organiser, Lawrence Choi has apologised to competitors over their complaints.

In an email he said the competition had been "totally destroyed".

'Completely corrupt⁵'

Fifty competitors from around the world attended the event in the hope of winning $20,000 and some girls were also offered plastic surgery（整形手术） .

Ms Willerton said: "They put us in a hotel with no beds, they often didn't feed us.

"I started complaining straight away, but they would always reply with 'you won't win the contest if you complain'.

"Then it moved onto bribery⁶, sexual harassment⁷. Girls were offered places in the competition in exchange for sex, in exchange for money, it was completely corrupt."

She said after being sexually harassed she and several others informed police.

"When the police arrived they called in one of the chairmen of the pageant⁸（盛会，选美） who actually got his wallet out straight away and we were all pushed back by the organisers so we couldn't speak.

"Our translator would not translate for us, so we were completely helpless."

Ms Willerton said she managed to arrange flights home but had not been reimbursed⁹（偿还，赔偿） for the cost of the original flights which she was promised when she agreed to take part.

She said she was considering taking legal action against the organisers of the event.

The BBC contacted Mr Choi about Ms Willerton's allegations but has not received a response.

In his email to competitors Mr Choi said the committees in charge of booking the hotels and transport "did not keep the agreement".

He said: "In conclusion, it's fully¹⁰ my mistake and fault, I had only vision but forget reality. I am terribly sorry what happened here in Korea."
