Five months after three female athletes filed complaints about the inappropriate behaviour of their weightlifting coach, the same man has been charged with the sexual assault of a different person.
Isaac Smith, 33, was charged with sexual assault on Sept. 28. Those allegations have not been proven in court and CBC News was unable to reach Smith for comment.CBC News spoke with two of the three women who filed complaints on April 21 to Weightlifting Nova Scotia, the group that facilitates access to the sport and organizes events in the province.
The investigator found at least 30 violations of Weightlifting Nova Scotia's code of ethics, ranging from not fostering self-esteem among athletes, making unwelcome sexualized comments and shaming athletes.Both Warnica, who trained with Smith for three years starting in spring 2017, and complainant Jane Nicholson, who trained with him for seven years starting in summer 2015, are now 26.
Nicholson, 26, is calling for more transparency when it comes to how Weightlifting Nova Scotia shares information about sanctions with its membership. "How many times does someone have to break a code of conduct to actually be permanently suspended?" Nicholson said of the original eight-month sanction.
