Sexual Violence in Figure Skating





The case of sexual violence in the skating world has been brought to light thanks to statements made by my client, Sarah Abitbol. I invite you to read or reread these press articles, which detail this statement, the legal and judicial framework, and the consequences for skating.

The article on Morandini’s Blog discusses the statement made by Didier Gailhaguet, president of the Ice Sports Federation.

The article in 20 Minutes specifies that these facts are statute-barred and that Sarah Abitbol will not press charges.

On France TV Info, Sarah Abitbol denounces these acts. You can find numerous articles on this case online.
