Former Olympic coach charged

Toronto police have charged a former head coach with Taekwondo Canada with four new charges related to allegations he sexually assaulted a second teen student over the course of three years.

Shin Wook Lim, a multi-time coach with Canada’s summer Olympic team, was arrested and charged last year with 13 counts for allegedly sexually assaulting a different teenage girl he was coaching.

In the new set of allegations, 45-year-old Lim was arrested by Toronto police on Wednesday for allegedly sexually assaulting a female student he was coaching in London and Toronto between 2013 and 2015.

Lim, from Woodbridge, was charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference.

In May 2018, he was charged with six counts of sexual assault, five counts of sexual exploitation, and one count each of invitation to sexual touching and sexual interference for allegedly sexually assaulting a student he was coaching at a downtown location over the course of two years, from 2015 to 2017.

Lim has an extensive history with the Canadian Olympic team and was an official coach at the 2008 and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, according to Taekwando Canada, which represents Canadian athletes for the World Taekwondo Federation.

Taekwando Canada last year said it was co-operating with the police investigation into Lim.

Lim also worked as a coach at a taekwondo dojo at Bloor St. W. and Ossington Ave. called Black Belt World.
