An investigation has found that an incident in which a former official grabbed a young girl was "drunken misbehavior" not "child molestation," the public security bureau of Shenzhen told reporters on Wednesday.

Lin Jiaxiang, former Communist Party chief and deputy director of the Shenzhen Maritime Safety Administration, was sacked from his post after drunkenly losing control in public last Wednesday night.

Photos and video clips of the incident have been posted online, which show Lin attempting to force an underage girl into the men's restroom after getting drunk in a seafood restaurant in Shenzhen. The girl, surnamed Chen, managed to escape.

According to both Lin and the girl's statements, there were body contacts, but Lin only grabbed the girl by her shoulder and neck, the spokesman said.

"The video captured by the restaurant's closed-circuit cameras shows no evidence of molestation, which is in line with both Lin's and Chen's statements," the spokesman said.

However, Lin's behavior had an extremely negative impact on society, which merits punishment, according to the spokesman.
