Presidential chief of staff offers deep apology over sex scandal

South Korea's presidential chief of staff apologized Sunday over sex abuse allegations involving a now-fired spokesman, calling the case "unconditionally wrong," "very shameful" and "unacceptable by common sense."

Huh Tae-yeol said senior press secretary Lee Nam-ki already offered to resign right after returning from a trip to the United States, and that he and other presidential staff are also ready to take responsibility. Huh did not say whether Lee's resignation was accepted.
