A Paralympian swimmer has accused a former teammate of physical, verbal and sexual abuse, including at last year's Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
In a suit filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for Colorado, the swimmer, 19, who has autism and an intellectual disability, says he was "violently and repeatedly sexually assaulted and harassed" by the teammate, who has cerebral palsy.
He “no longer feels safe training" at the Olympic training center or attending Paralympic Olympic events and has left “behind the dream to which he had dedicated his entire life, and one of the only environments where he felt appreciated and accepted," the lawsuit says.The lawsuit accuses the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the U.S.
Representatives of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee called the allegations “extremely concerning” and said it is taking them very seriously. The suit seeks a jury trial to determine damages to be paid by the teammate, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and SafeSport.
