Rachael Denhollander names baby after MSU detective in Nassar case

Rachael Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse Larry Nassar of sexually abusing patients, honored a Michigan State University detective in naming her newborn daughter.

Denhollander, a Kalamazoo native, gave birth Friday to her fourth child, whose name is Elora Renee Joy.

Denhollander explained the name in a Twitter post: "Elora - to God belongs the victory. Renee - Rebirth, redemption. And after Dt. Lt. Andrea Renee Munford, who fought for us and made redeeming so much evil, possible.

"Just need a few more babies so we can have namesakes for the others who fought for us too :)," she added.
