CNN —Canadian ice dancer Nikolaj Sørensen has been suspended for a minimum of six years for “sexual maltreatment,” Canada’s Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC) announced on Wednesday.
It’s unclear whether the alleged assault was ever reported to police, or if an investigation by law enforcement ever took place.
While the report made by the alleged victim to the OSIC has not been released to the public, Hogshead tells CNN the alleged sexual assault occurred after a party in Hartford, Connecticut, in 2012.
Sørensen and Laurence Fournier Beaudry perform their free dance in the ice dance competition at the 2024 world championships.
Sørensen competed at the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, finishing ninth in the ice dance competition with Beaudry.
