A Cape Town computer consultant has filed a sexual harassment claim against senior SA rugby administrator Johan Prinsloo, the Cape Argus reported on Friday.

It said the consultant, Lindsey Williams, had lodged a R400 000 claim in the Cape High Court, alleging Prinsloo made unwanted verbal and physical sexual advances to him in 2004 and 2005.

SA Rugby has also been cited as a respondent. Prinsloo has denied the allegations.

In 2005, he was found not guilty on sexual harassment charges stemming from the same complaint, by an internal disciplinary hearing.

At the time Prinsloo was managing director of SA Rugby as well as chief executive officer of the SA Rugby Football Union.

He has since been axed from the MD's post.
