The lifetime ban for a US Figure Skating coach accused of sexual abuse has been overturned; he now faces a three-year suspension, 15 years of probation and 100 hours of community service
The lifetime ban for a longtime US Figure Skating coach accused of sexual abuse was overturned Monday, according to ABC News.
Richard Callaghan was permanently banned from the organization in August after he was accused in a lawsuit of sexually abusing figure skater Adam Schmidt repeatedly between 1999 and 2001, beginning when Schmidt was about 14. The abuse occurred while Callaghan was coaching Schmidt, the lawsuit alleged, and later at a competition in San Diego. Callaghan has denied any misconduct and appealed the ban to an independent arbitrator.
