Australian Sports Commission facing sex abuse lawsuit

The Australian Sports Commission is being sued for allegedly failing to act against sex abuse claims raised by a high-performance para-athlete and employee of the Australian Institute of Sport.

It is alleged the 24-year-old woman was physically and sexually assaulted by her then partner at the AIS in Canberra on four separate occasions in 2020.

It's further claimed the organisation was made aware of the abuse, but did nothing to stop it and continued to roster the pair on for work together.
