Kira Coelho scrolled through cosplay-related Facebook pages on Friday, searching for posts from people who had a less-than-good experience at this year’s FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention.
Coelho soon found something that shocked her: A girl said someone came up to her at FanX, ripped off a piece of her costume and then punched her in the breast.
Coelho, who is a member of FanX’s new community advisory council to oversee its anti-harassment policies, discussed the allegation during a Saturday panel at the convention. After the panel, she told The Salt Lake Tribune that the council is still investigating the report.
