[Photo] Olympic medalist Shim Suk-hee accuses coach of sexual assault

South Korean short track speed skater and Olympic gold medalist Shim Suk-hee publicly accused her former coach, Cho Jae-beom, of repeated instances of sexual assault over a four-year period on Jan. 8. Shim accused Cho of physical violence last year, and Cho is already serving a sentence of 10 months after being convicted of assault. If the allegations of sexual assault prove to be true, his sentence will likely be lengthened. The photo shows Cho ahead of a police inquiry at the Gyeonggi South Provincial Police Agency on June 8, 2018.
