A current **Bachelorette** contestant pleaded guilty to assault last month.
BuzzFeed reports that Lincoln Adim's conviction involved a woman on a cruise ship in 2016.
The victim reported to police that Adim, a stranger to her, "groped and assaulted" her.
On May 21, Adim pleaded guilty to indecent assault and battery charges.
A judge sentenced him to a year in jail on a suspended sentence for two years.
"No one on 'The Bachelorette' production had any knowledge about the incident or charges when Lincoln Adim was cast, and he himself denied ever having engaged in or having been charged with any sexual misconduct. We employ a well-respected and highly experienced third party who has done thousands of background checks consistent with industry standards to do a nationwide background check in this case."
