Figure Skater Ashley Wagner Opens Up About Sexual Assault | Today
Olympian Ashley Wagner, a renowned figure skater, has come forward with her story of being sexually assaulted at a party when she was 17. She revealed these details in a first-person account for USA Today, naming John Coughlin, another skater who died by suicide while under investigation for sexual misconduct. Wagner decided to speak out to encourage others to come forward and to advocate for a safer environment in the sport. She was motivated by seeing young skaters like 13-year-old Elissa Lu entering a flawed system and felt a responsibility to push for change. Wagner emphasized the need for better protection and support for young athletes and has already influenced some changes in US Figure Skating, though she believes more rapid and significant improvements are necessary.
