15 adults waited to report Larry Nassar abuse allegations, new testimony shows

At least 15 people knew of allegations against former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar in 2015, but did not immediately report them to police or child protective services, according to records and written testimony obtained by IndyStar.

The written testimony was submitted in advance of Tuesday's hearing of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance and Data Security. The hearing will focus on how past efforts to protect Olympic athletes from sexual abuse have failed and what is needed to protect athletes in the future.

Among those scheduled to testify is former USA Gymnastics President and CEO Steve Penny, who has declined interviews and not spoken publicly about his handling of the Nassar case.
