Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal to see entire US Gymnastics board resign

Larry Nassar 'Judges should put emotions to one side in court', says lawyer

She criticized him on Tuesday for "shamelessly taking credit" for the resignation of three USAG board members, while the USOC was "still not acknowledging its own role in this mess".

Before the leadership of the board of directors resigned this week, former CEO and president Steve Penny had been the only USA Gymnastics official held publicly accountable.

The gymnast insisted that Nassar had more victims who haven't yet spoken out and said that it was necessary to uncover any USAG staff or board members who may have "fostered" Nassar's actions.

Also within that 12 months, USA Gymnastics must cooperate with the independent investigation into whether anyone knew about athlete complaints of Nassar's abuse and didn't report them and the systemic failures that contributed with his ability to go unchecked for so long.

The USOC had threatened to strip USA Gymnastics of its power to run its sport if all 21 board directors had not resigned by next Wednesday.

The university, which is facing lawsuits filed by more than 130 women and girls, has asked for a new investigation by the state attorney general, and the NCAA sent Hollis a letter earlier this week asking for details on potential violations relating to Nassar.

It followed a week of blistering statements in court by his victims including Olympic gold medal-winning gymnasts Aly Raisman and Jordyn Wieber and other female athletes.

Even after it turned the case over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it did not notify Michigan State or authorities in Michigan, despite knowing that Nassar was still working there.

The deadline was one week from the day disgraced team doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for abusing more than 150 gymnasts.

She said the young woman's concerns were "taken seriously and addressed", but that does not explain why Mr. The young woman who made the accusations was moved to a new job within the campaign, the Times reports.

Lemke recalls being called to an emergency team meeting at Michigan State University in September 2016 where she was told that Nassar had been accused of sexual assault. No one now serving on the board is eligible to be an interim member except the five athlete representatives.

Nassar, 54, was jailed for carrying out the attacks under the guise of medical treatment.

"Everyone stood up for him", Ms Raisman told the ABC programme The View.

Both the USOC and USA Gymnastics have faced harsh criticism amid revelations about the systematic abuse that Nassar carried out, with victims and others saying the two organizations didn't do enough to support athletes and prevent abuse. Discussing the army of survivors who spoke out against Nassar in court, she said: "Many of them, myself included, claim the USOC is also at fault".

Almost 160 women have come forward with abuse allegations against him.

"We still have to hold these organizations accountable".

A subsequent USAG statement read: "USA Gymnastics completely embraces the requirements outlined in the January 25, 2018 letter from the United States Olympic Committee and appreciates the opportunity to work with the USOC to accomplish change for the betterment of our organisation, our athletes and our clubs". They just released a statement for the first time.

United States senators also announced an investigation earlier this week.

The House next week is due to vote on legislation passed by the Senate in November that would require amateur athletics governing bodies to report sex-abuse allegations immediately to law enforcement or a child welfare agency.
