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

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.

Yep, instead of firing one person, let's start with 1000

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?

Penetrating rape or diddle during an "exam" ?

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

If I recall right, he had to use his fingers in the girl’s vagina to reset something.

That was his claim.

Sometimes, the parents were in the room.

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

Rather than investigating the sexual abuse allegations, FBI Agent in Charge Jay Abbott solicited a job position with the US Gymnastics Assoc. He lied to the IG. Retired with full benefits. His underling agent Michael Langeman also lied to the IG, and was fired just two weeks ago as the Senate hearing approached.

If she’d kicked him across the exam room, people would have looked into it.

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.

PResumably like Hollywood. Too many overambitious parents to start with, then too many of them willing to willfully look the other way as part of the cost of getting their kids ahead.
