Gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles broke down in tears as she and other top US gymnasts McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols and Aly Raisman accused the FBI of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse perpetrated by sicko sports doctor Larry Nassar.
The seven-time Olympian had to pause to regain her composure as she delivered heart-wrenching testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“It feels like the FBI turned a blind eye to us,” Biles said.
“I don’t want another young gymnast or Olympic athlete to experience the horror I and hundreds of others have endured.
“How much is a little girl worth?”
Biles’ former Olympic teammate McKayla Maroney also accused the FBI of ignoring her pleas for help.
“I was molested by the US gymnastics national team and Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar,” the gymnast said.
“In actuality, he turned out to be more of a pedophile than he was a doctor.”
Maroney said the FBI deliberately ignored accusations leveled at the disgraced doctor.
“After telling my entire story of abuse to the FBI in the summer of 2015, not only did the FBI not report my abuse but when they eventually documented my report 17 months later they made entirely false claims about what I said,” she said.
“They chose to lie about what I said and protect a serial child molester rather than protect not only me but countless others.”
Maggie Nichols, the first known gymnast to report Nassar’s sexual abuse, said she is “haunted” by the FBI’s handling of the abuse — which she described as a “cover-up.”
“I am haunted by 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 failure 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 this time the FBI issued no search warrants and made no arrests.”
Two-time Olympian Aly Raisman said the FBI allowed young gymnasts to be needlessly abused.
“In 2015 it was known at least six national team athletes had been abused by Nassar. One of the athletes was even abused on film,” Raisman said.
“Given our abuser’s unfettered access to children, stopping him should have been a priority.
“Instead, the FBI failed to interview pertinent parties in a timely manner.
“It took over 14 months for the FBI to contact me despite my many requests to be interviewed by them.”
