Former US President George Bush Senior has issued a second apology to "anyone he has offended" after a second allegation of sexual assault emerged.
Actress Jordana Grolnick told US website Deadspin that Bush groped her in 2016 after announcing his favourite magician was "David Cop‑a‑Feel".
Another actress, Heather Lind, had already come forward to say the former president had touched her from behind.
Bush's spokesman said it was supposed to put people at ease.
The spokesman said in a statement supplied to media outlets, that at age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures.
Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologises most sincerely."
Lind, Grolnick shared a photo of the moment the alleged assault took place on social media platform Instagram.
