Olympic bronze medalist Ashley Wagner says she was sexually assaulted by John Coughlin, becoming the latest figure skater to make an accusation against the former U.S. skater.
Wagner, 28, detailed the June 2008 assault to USA Today Sports this week, saying she was 17 when the then-22-year-old Coughlin climbed into bed with her, kissed her and groped her without her permission. She said the incident occurred after a party at the U.S. team's figure skating camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
"I was absolutely paralyzed in fear," Wagner told the newspaper.
After several minutes, Wagner said she grabbed Coughlin's hand and told him to stop.
