Simone Biles broke down in tears during Wednesday's Senate hearing as she recounted the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar and revealed how the FBI failed her and dozens of other victims by turning a 'blind eye' to the abuse.

The Olympic athlete, 24, called for the agents who failed to take action for months after the abuse was first reported to face federal prosecution as the sexual predator continued to prey on around 70 young victims.

'To be clear, I blame Larry Nassar and I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated that abuse,' she said.

Biles was joined by her fellow star athletes and Nassar victims McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman as they each gave damning testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee for its hearing into the FBI's botched probe of Nassar's sexual abuse.

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

They were too busy spying on Trump 2015. Gotta get their priorities straight..

The testimony of the four gymnasts was heartbreaking. The Senate hearing continues this afternoon with FBI Director Wray (limp wrist) and the Inspector General Horowitz.

This FBI coverup began under James Comey's tenure. Nobody in the FBI has been prosecuted to date. Disgusting.

This is a travesty. The FBI should be dimantled, they serve no purpose but to spend taxpayer money, ignore their supposed mission and cause trouble. Those who ignored this situation or worse should be not just fired but charged with neglecting their duty.

I watched a documentary about this.

The gymnasts and their parents knew that what was going on was wrong.

The Doctor finally got in trouble when a neighbor girl complained about him and the police searched his house and found child porn.

He was the Doctor to the gymnastic stars and that means big money was involved and most everyone kept quiet.

Did Maroney really think that was the best way to dress considering the context?

Wouldn’t be a shame if Larry Nassar suicides or is murdered in prison.

Simone should have gone to the university lawyer or the state medical licensing board to complain.

He was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison for child porn, with additional sentences (of more than one hundred years) in each of two Michigan counties.

He was 53 years old at the time of his sentencing.
