Jurin sorry as assault probe widensDemocrat Party leader Jurin Laksanawisit apologises for the sex scandal involving the party's former deputy leader Prinn Panitchpakdi at a press briefing at party headquarters on Tuesday. The briefing came after pressure grew for Mr Jurin to take steps to shore up the party's image tainted by the scandal. "Resigning [as party leader] is irresponsible because I'd be leaving problems for others to solve. To show responsibility, Mr Jurin said, he had resigned from the two committees. If further charges are pressed against Mr Prinn, the court will be asked to issue a warrant for his arrest, Pol Col Nimit said.
