Litigation
In February 2023, Fletcher and other former U.S. Ski & Snowboard (USSS) team members sued coach Peter Foley, along with the national federation, its former CEO, and the USOPC, in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles for sex trafficking, harassment, and enabling and covering up repeated acts of sexual assault and misconduct, alleging that the defendants "conspired and acted in concert with one another to commit unlawful acts." They alleged that Foley exploited his position of trust to "coerce sexual acts through force, manipulation, emotional abuse, intimidation, and retaliation." Fletcher said that Foley sexually assaulted her at a U.S. team camp when she was 19, and again at a post-race event at the Olympics. Foley and the other defendants asked the court to throw out the lawsuit; a hearing is set for October 2023.

Separately, on August 8, 2023, after an 18-month investigation, SafeSport suspended Foley for ten years for sexual misconduct.
