Simone Biles breaks down as she recounts abuse by Larry Nassar at Senate probe
Daily Mail ^ | 9/15/21 | Rachel Sharp

The four star gymnasts testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday about the Nassar case

The hearing examines why the FBI failed to investigate USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar sooner

A damning report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz in July found the bureau made a series of failures in its handling of allegations

It was first alerted to the abuse in 2015 but failed to bring charges leaving Nassar to abuse dozens more victims over the next 13 months, the report found

It emerged Tuesday the FBI fired agent Michael Langeman last week

Langeman worked as a supervisory special agent in the FBI's Indianapolis office and interviewed Maroney when she came forward with allegations in 2015

Keep in mind these are kids. Kids are taught to respect authority figures. Nassar was very good at coming up with a song and dance about how what he was doing was therapeutic and necessary. Just like all abusers, they use the authority of their title to declare everything they’re doing is right. And if the kid talks to their parents most folks don’t believe, this is USA Gymnastics, of course they wouldn’t hire a pedo. And the rare parents that do anything generally start within the organization, so then Nassar comes in with the “that’s not exactly what happened” song and dance. These things only break when you get enough parents who don’t buy it and start talking to each other, then the cops, then the media when the cops won’t listen.

I was going to ask where were these girl's parents?

What Father or Mother would allow their child to be "treated", alone, by anyone?

I have a niece who I thought could make it big in modeling and decided it was not the safe place for her to be working.
Modeling, gymnasts and women’s golf/tennis.
All places you don’t want your family members involved.

Oh, yes—that’s another one.

I think there is a likely a very hidden underground scandal around the AAU boys basketball circuit for kids at least aiming for NBA. Similar dynamics except more desperate families and even more money dangled as the potential reward.

There were cases where a parent was present in the room when doctor Nassar “treated” the gymnasts. Some of the most naive girls did not realize they were being sexually assaulted at the time. Nassar was providing “therapy.”
