detailing her sexual assault at the age of 17; she names her assaulter as John Coughlin, a then-22-year-old figure skater whoearly this year.
“Over the past few months, as I decided to tell this story, I wrestled with using John’s name,” she writes. “He was a prominent figure skater who died by suicide in January, and so I fully understand the issues with naming him. But a name can shape so much of how my story is perceived. Without it, I know people will question my credibility.”
Looking back now, I didn’t understand that his hands knew the way around a woman’s body because he was 22. He was a man. But I was just a girl. When he continued to wander further over my body, I started to get scared because he was so much bigger than I was, and I didn’t know if I could push him off. I just continued to lie there pretending to be asleep, hoping that he would get bored and go somewhere else. He didn’t.
In the aftermath, Wagner says she told two friends about the incident, but was worried about how telling her parents might get her in trouble, and that she thought speaking on it more publicly might reflect poorly on her—an unfortunately all-too-common fear for those who’ve been sexually assaulted:
