Simone Biles, a gymnast, broke down in tears when she and other renowned American gymnasts McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman accused the FBI of turning a blind eye to the sexual abuse committed by sicko sports doctor Larry Nassar.
The seven-time Olympian had to pause to regain his composure as he delivered a heartbreaking testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“It looks like the FBI made us big-eyed,” Biles said.
“I don’t want another young gymnast or Olympic athlete to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others have suffered.
“How much is a girl worth?”
Former Biles Olympic teammate McKayla Maroney also accused the FBI of ignoring her requests for help.
“I was attacked by the U.S. national gymnastics team and Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar,” the gymnast said.
“He actually turned out to be a pedophile rather than a doctor.”
Maroney said the FBI deliberately ignored the dishonored doctor’s allegations.
“After telling my entire history of abuse to the FBI in the summer of 2015, not only did the FBI not report my abuse, but they finally documented my report 17 months later, they did completely false statements about what I said, ”he said.
“They chose to lie about what I said and protect a child abuser instead of protecting not just me but countless others.”
Maggie Nichols, the first known gymnast to report Nassar’s sexual abuse, said she is “haunted” by the FBI’s treatment of the abuse, which she described as a “cover-up.”
“I am obsessed with the fact that even after reporting my abuse, so many women and girls had to suffer at the hands of Larry Nassar,” Nichols said.
“The cover-up of my abuse and the FBI’s inability to interview me for more than a year after I filed my complaint are well documented.
“While my complaints were with the FBI, Larry Nassar continued to abuse women and girls.
“During that time, the FBI did not issue search warrants or make any arrests.”
Olympic bipolitist Aly Raisman said the FBI allowed young gymnasts to be treated unnecessarily.
“In 2015 it was known that at least six athletes from the national team had been abused by Nassar. One of the athletes was even abused by the movies, ”Raisman said.
“Given our abuser’s free access to children, stopping him should have been a priority.
“However, the FBI was unable to interview the relevant parties in time.
“It took the FBI more than 14 months to get in touch with me despite the many requests they made to me for an interview.”
