Alyssa Baumann, world champion gymnast, comes forward as Larry Nassar survivor

Alyssa Baumann said she is a Larry Nassar sexual-abuse survivor, joining many fellow former U.S. national team members in coming forward.

Baumann, a member of the U.S.’ gold-medal team at the 2014 World Championships, filed a lawsuit in August against Nassar, USA Gymnastics, the International Gymnastics Federation and World Sport Chicago as a “Jane Doe.”

It will now be amended to include her name.

Baumann released a statement on social media and through a public relations firm Thursday:

“I feel like I have reached a point where I can share my truth.
