A massive case involving over a hundred women and girls shined a light on the horrid sexual abuse and cover-up that took place within the USA Gymnastics program. For decades children were “sacrificed” and their abusers “protected,” according to one of the victims. In 2017, the man at the center of the depravity pleaded guilty to multiple charges of sexual assault against children and was sentenced to decades behind bars. Now, we are finding out that the FBI knew about the abuse and allowed the depraved child predator, Larry Nassar, to continue preying on little girls for more than a year after finding out.
The horrid nightmare that is sexual abuse within the US Olympic gymnastics program was brought to light in 2016 when former gymnast Rachael Denhollander called for a regime change within the organization. Denhollander is one of more than 125 victims, including US Olympic champion and three-time gold medalist, Aly Raisman, who came forward with evidence of cover-ups and abuse.
According to a new report from the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice, the Indianapolis FBI office facilitated this abuse as it violated agency procedures, made false statements and exhibited “extremely poor judgment” in the handling of 2015 sexual abuse allegations against Nassar.
