LOS ANGELES -- In late 2016, when the sexual assault allegations engulfing USA Gymnastics and former team doctor Larry Nassar made national news, attorneys for the governing body of the sport and one of its biggest stars, McKayla Maroney, struck a deal to keep any mention of her abuse by Nassar out of the public eye.
That revelation comes from Maroney's attorney, John Manly, who filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of the former Olympic gymnast.
