Sascha Rabe (born October 31, 1985 in Berlin, Germany) is a German ice dancer. He currently competes with Tanja Kolbe. They are the 2009 German bronze medalists. With his former partner Rina Thieleke, he finished in twelfth place at the 2005 World Junior Figure Skating Championships and won the silver medal at the 2005-2006 ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Japan.
In 2009, Rabe was at the centre of a sexual assault case. He claims that in 2006 he was assaulted by Udo Dönsdorf, head of sport for the German ice skating union, the DEU. Dönsdorf denies the allegations but admits a kiss and several private dinners.[1] The case was dismissed in January 2011.[2]
