A 28-year-old gymnastics coach in Mississauga faces five charges after he allegedly sexually assaulted a teenaged student over a period of several years. Until October of 2017, McFarlane spent four years working at Manjak's Gymnastics on Sladeview Crescent in Mississauga. According to Kelly Manjak, owner of Manjak's Gymnastics, McFarlane began working at the facility after a stint in Ottawa. Gymnastics Canada, the national governing body for the sport, and Gymnastics Ontario have both suspended McFarlane indefinitely. Gymnastics BC also issued a statement of its own, saying that McFarlane has "previously worked as a guest coach" at training camps in the province.
