In a video released by USA Today Sports on Thursday morning, U.S. Olympic figure skater Ashley Wagner, 28, detailed an allegation of sexual assault against pairs skater John Coughlin, who committed suicide earlier this year. Wagner claimed she was groped and kissed without her consent in June 2008, when she was 17 years old and Coughlin was 22.
Coughlin hanged himself in January, about a month after the U.S. Center for SafeSport suspended him to investigate allegations of abuse. Bridget Namiotka, a former skating partner of Coughlin, claimed she was groomed and sexually abused by Coughlin for two years, according to the New York Post.
