panel of the Professional Skaters Association said it had found no violation of its ethics standards. As a consequence of the case and the publicity it caused, the USFSA did adopt a formal policy on sexual harassment and other forms of abuse, and has since taken aggressive action against other coaches accused of sexual misconduct with their students. In March 2018, Callaghan was finally suspended from all participation in sports under the auspices of U.S. Olympic Committee member organizations. Callaghan said he had grown tired of the travel and grind of being a top coach and that his planned retirement had nothing to do with the grievance. He ultimately did not retire but instead moved to another rink in the Detroit area where he continued to coach Eldredge and other skaters, including Angela Nikodinov, Shizuka Arakawa, and Jennifer Kirk. He is currently based in Coral Gables, Florida where he coached Kimmie Meissner. He now lives in Naples, Florida, and coaches at Germain Arena. In October 2022, as part of a legal settlement with one of his accusers, Callaghan agreed to no longer coach minor skaters. Suspension Callaghan faced allegations of sexual abuse of a minor, which he has denied, brought in a lawsuit filed by a former student in August 2019. Following allegations of sexual abuse reported to United States Center for SafeSport by a former student, an 18-month investigation resulted in Callaghan receiving a lifetime ban from the sport after it was concluded that he had sexually, physically and emotionally abused skaters. He appealed this decision to an arbitrator, which resulted in the ban being lifted and the imposition of a three-year suspension, 15-year probation, and 100 hours of community service. The arbitrator stated that this was due to having to follow the legal standards of the time, which he called "absurd and draconian". Callaghan's suspension by SafeSport concluded in December 2022.
