We owe a lot of people apologies. First and foremost we owe an apology to Victoria Acevedo. The way we handled your allegations against Chris Farmer was negligent. We appreciate you accepting our apology and are here to help your healing process if you need us. Secondly we want to apologize to the skating community. You all deserve better than this. Nobody wants to discuss trauma or sexual assault allegations, but for our community to feel like a safe and open place for everyone, we need to be better in how we handle these things.

Moving forward Chris Farmer will no longer be skating for Vibralux Denim. Hopefully Chris is able to turn this negative situation into a positive outcome. Growth for all parties is necessary and we are here for you as well Chris. We hope to look back at this point as the start of something positive for everyone as we begin the healing process as a community.
