The organisation that decides the Nobel Prize for Literature has said it will not announce an award this year, after it was engulfed in a scandal over sexual assault allegations.

Divisions started to emerge last November when French photographer Jean-Claude Arnault, who ran a cultural project with funding from the Swedish Academy, was accused by 18 women of sexual assault.

It's taken some time for reports to make clear that some assaults were said to have happened on Academy property, and that Arnault got funding from it. If you read The Guardian's report, for instance, the only connection of Arnault to the Academy they mention is being married to Frostenson.
