“Culture of Abuse” Exposed as USA Olympic Dr. Pleads Guilty to Massive Child Rape Scandal

By Matt Agorist

A massive case involving over a hundred women and girls is shining a light on the horrid sexual abuse and cover-up taking place within the USA Gymnastics program. For decades children were “sacrificed” and their abusers “protected,” according to one of the victims. Now, the man at the center of the depravity has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of sexual assault this week and faces 25 years in prison.

Larry Nassar, 54, faced charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for molesting several girls. Nassar was accused of molesting the girls under the guise of providing treatment and the staff inside the program was accused of helping him cover it up.

The horrid nightmare that is sexual abuse within the US Olympic gymnastics program was brought to light last August 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.

As USA TODAY reported, in a joint interview with USA TODAY Sports and the Associated Press on Saturday, Raisman said revelations of widespread abuse by longtime team physician Larry Nassar and the reaction by the governing bodies has colored how she views her sport.

“The people at the very top, that work at the office every single day at USA Gymnastics, they need to do better,” Raisman said.

“It’s making me sad,” she added. “I’m here to support my teammates because we got inducted to the Hall of Fame and I’m here to support the girls who are competing. I love the Olympics, I love gymnastics, I love the sport.

“But I don’t support how USA Gymnastics is handling everything right now.”

Earlier this month, Raisman revealed in a CBS News 60 Minutes interview that she had been molested . She was captain of the teams that won gold medals for the United States at the London and Rio Olympics in 2012 and 2016.

“I am angry,” Raisman said. “I’m really upset because I care a lot, when I see these young girls that come up to me, and they ask for pictures or autographs, whatever it is, every time I look at them, every time I see them smiling, I just think I just want to create change so that they never, ever have to go through this.”
