Simone Biles says Larry Nassar sexually abused her
Simone Biles says ex-USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar abused her, according to her social media.
“I too am one of the many survivors that was sexually abused by Larry Nassar,” was posted on Biles’ Twitter account. “Please believe me when I say it was a lot harder to speak those words out loud than it is now to put them on paper.”
Biles’ Olympic and world championships teammates Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney and Maggie Nichols previously came forward saying they were sexually abused by Nassar.
Nassar admitted to sexually assaulting female gymnasts, possessing child pornography and molesting girls who sought treatment.
