America’s greatest and most decorated gymnast Simone Biles has identified herself as a plaintiff for the first time in the ongoing Larry Nassar abuse lawsuit against USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
ESPN reported that Biles’ name appeared on the plaintiff list of a motion filed on Monday, which seeks the testimony of current and former USOPC officials. Biles is one of over 250 women who were sexually assaulted by Nassar while he was serving as the team doctor for USA Gymnastics, and more than 140 of those women are suing USAG and the USOPC for failing to do anything to prevent Nassar’s abuse despite being told it was taking place.
