[ApharmdX]

Jesus.

 

[JettDash]

That's terrible.

Glad she came forward and named the guy. Hopefully his life is ruined.

ETA: He is already in prison.

 

[Trojita]

The fuck

 

[QuantumZebra]

It never fucking ends.

My god.

 

[backflip10019]

Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Sulik2]

No surprise, wasn't there a major scandal with gymnast trainers in the USA like last year? Its really good the Weinstein stuff is leading to an environment where women all over are finally able to speak out about these abuses.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

WOWOWOWOWWOWOW!!!!

IDK what to say.

 

[reKon]

Yep it's been well known about Dr Nassar since the summer and before I believe.

He's already past fucked.

 

[Trojita]

Looking him up he was a serial abuser and caught by the FBI. He abused at least 140 victims.

This guy was the scandal last year, I believe

Wow...

 

[TheGrizz]

Fuck. I got chills reading this. Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Byakuya769]

1 in 4 women. The problem is everywhere.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Good to hear this guy has already been caught.

 

[dani_dc]

Unfortunatey this is not a shock, particularly considering the person in question.

FBI Says Gymnastics Doctor Larry Nassar Recorded Abuse on Go Pro

• More than 37,000 images and videos of child pornography, some featuring girls as young as six, were seized from his home.
• Some of the material was on a drive and disks found in a trash bin outside his house.
• A Go Pro contained video of Nassar allegedly molesting girls in a pool

(...)
More than 60 women have filed complaints with police alleging they were abused under the guise of invasive medical exams.

A complete monster.
The only solace to take is that he's already in jail.

 

[kmax]

Dude clearly has a rap sheet of assaults.

 

[LiK]

Props to her for speaking out. Ugh, I remember this guy on the news.

 

[Shadybiz]

This is not a surprise at all. ...Still a goddamn shame.

 

[vacantseas]

As far as I know she's one of the big name gymnastics to come forward regarding this guy.

Per Deadspin, over 140 gymnasts allege they were abused by this bastard for years.

 

[mariachi507]

Fuck this evil bastard, I'm glad they caught him so that he doesn't get to prey on anymore in the future because it looks like there was no end in sight. All because of his reputation and power.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's horrible

 

[benicillin]

Horrific story. I appreciate her bravery in coming forward - the doctor had documented complaints from dozens upon dozens of victims and was still allowed to prey upon innocent women and girls.

 

[SDBurton]

Good for her on speaking out. This is absolutely insane.

 

[Spartancarver]

What the fuck.

I am a physician and I cannot imagine how deranged one must be to take advantage of one's patients like that. That makes me sick to my stomach even thinking about it.

That is beyond abuse of trust. What the fuck

 

[Froli]

Pedo Rapist doctor

 

[Chuckie]

Fucking horrible story Brave of her to share this in public.

Her name sounds really familiair. Was this the girl who made that 'not impressed' face during the medal ceremony?

Needs a bullet in his head if you ask me.

That or exteeeensive mental therapy.

Yes.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

This is the least surprising reveal yet.

Doctors, massage therapists, etc. involved with Olympic sports like track and gymnastics have always been extremely fucking creepy around the young women (and men) they have constant physical access to.

 

[Measley]

As the father of a 4-year old girl, I'm terrified of the world I brought my daughter into.

Holy shit.

Lock him up in a federal prison.

He won't last long as a pedo there.

 

[Diprosalic]

fuck him.

that whole sport has a creepy vibe with extremely young girls (and boys) risking their bodies in full make up and sparkly dresses.

similiar vibe i get from those children beauty contests.

 

[Heckler456]

If I had a daughter, I would never, ever leave them in a situation where they're alone with anyone else until they're like fucking 18 or some shit. All it takes is one monster, and look - 140 fucking victims.

fuck him.

Right? I just look at this kind of stuff and think "that's just ripe for abuse".

 

[Wilsongt]

I commend the NYT for finally publishing the story that allowed all of the people to have courage to come forward and drag these fuckers from the shadows to expose them.

Now if only our Molestor-In-Chief would suffer some consequences for his actions.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

I don't think there is therapy for sexually assaulting a ton of people. He shoved his finger in girls vagina, young and old, has child porn on his computer. He's a fucking monster.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Fucking hell, imagine having to deal with that at 15. These bastards should have their dicks ripped off. Slowly.

The woman who he allegedly groped that he discussed in his sound-byte about grabbing women by the vag is trying to file a suit as we speak. She's been trying to put a case together for years, but you know, regular gal vs billionaire, right? She'd get crushed by the fees alone.

But now might be time to strike while the iron is hot. Crowdfunding would elevate that OJ Simpson Case status.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The abuse was systemic within USA Gymnastics. Leadership outright ignored decades of claims from gymnasts and their parents that Nassar was a questionable presence, and they enabled and perpetuated the abuses. The entire organization needs to burn, not just Nassar

[Hero]

This guy needs to rot in prison for the rest of his life.

Jesus. Not sure what to say. Guess I'm done with the Olympics.

I hadn't heard about Nassar, but the details are horrifying. He was so blatant about that he'd need pervasive support to last as long as he did. Utterly horrifying. The rot runs deep.

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

I am glad she a spoke up before his sentencing. I hope the judge gives him a life sentence.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

This guy was/is such a monster. I'm glad Ms. Maroney is coming forward now. I hope that her example and the others before her give more kids and their parents courage to confront these situations as they are occuring and not after hundreds of people have been victimized. I'm not meaning that in a victim blaming way.

People have not taken the possibility of doctors as molesters seriously. Hard cases to prove unless you have, in this case, child porn. No getting around having that sort of thing on your computer and phone.

 

[Strike]

Yeah, I believe that. Shit is everywhere.

 

[Mahonay]

I am glad she a spoke up before his sentencing. I hope the judge gives him a life sentence.

Yup. McKayla deserves a lot of credit for putting this horrific story out there.

Fucking monster. Hope he has a real bad time in jail.

Yup, it's pretty much another Hollywood and it's been known for a long time.
