From Barrier Free Japan
April 28 2023
A female staff member of the Japan Ski Federation for the Disabled (JSFD), in her 20s has told Nippon TV that she was sexually assaulted by the head coach of the Japan Ski Federation for the Disabled in January of this year, specifically that she was raped by the Italian head coach during a trip to the World Championships in Spain.
She said, “He called me over for dinner to show me around or something. I thought it would be rude to ignore him since he was my coach, so I followed him, and he put me straight into his room…”
On the first night of the training camp, the head coach called her out and sexually assaulted her.
The next day, she received a photo of the boots she needed for practice on social media. She was told it was “left in the coach’s room” and when she went to retrieve it, she was attacked again.
