Overview
- Ashley Foy, speaking Thursday in interviews with Broken Ice and USA TODAY, said she is the person who reported that Nikolaj Sørensen sexually assaulted her.
- Foy says the assault happened in 2012 in Hartford, Connecticut, a claim first reported in January 2024 when she was unnamed.
- Sørensen received a six-year sport ban in October 2024 after an Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner investigation, but an arbitrator overturned it in June 2025 on jurisdiction grounds and that appeal is still pending.
- Sørensen denies the allegation and faces no criminal charges, and his lawyer says the claims have not been tested in court and that confidentiality rules limited access to a full account.
- Foy criticized secrecy in the process, said public support for Sørensen by Olympic ice dance champion Laurence Fournier Beaudry pushed her to speak, and launched fundraising for a charity called Just Ice, No Abuse to help skaters cover legal costs when they report abuse.
