The Larry Nassar Scandal: Betrayal, Justice, and Institutional Reform
The provided sources document the extensive sexual abuse scandal involving former team physician Larry Nassar, who exploited hundreds of athletes under the pretense of medical care. The texts detail how institutional failures by USA Gymnastics, Michigan State University, and the FBI allowed the predator to operate for decades despite early warnings and reports. Key figures like Rachael Denhollander and Olympic champions such as Simone Biles are highlighted for their roles in exposing the crimes and demanding accountability from leadership. This reckoning led to historic legal settlements totaling hundreds of millions of dollars and sparked significant legislative reform through the Safe Sport Authorization Act. Beyond criminal convictions, the documents explore the necessity of institutional courage to prioritize athlete safety over organizational reputation. Ultimately, the materials emphasize the transformative power of victim testimony in seeking justice and preventing future systemic betrayal.
