Content warning: Sexual abuse
On Sept. 15, Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles asked the Senate Judiciary Committee “How much is a little girl worth?” This question echoed one demanded by Rachael Denhollander in 2016 — the first woman to come forward about sexual assault at the hands of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.
I will never forget hearing that story for the first time, and I believe that a lot of others in my generation feel the same. As the #MeToo movement continued to grow in fall 2017, many gymnasts came forward about their own abuse at the hands of Nassar.
