Reports: MSU President Lou Anna Simon stepping down this week
"USA Gymnastics completely embraces the requirements outlined in the January 25, 2017 letter from the United States Olympic Committee and appreciates the opportunity to work with the USOC to accomplish change for the betterment of our organization, our athletes and our clubs". This sentencing covers seven of the 10 counts, with another sentencing for the remaining counts expected later this month.
The judge made her disgust for Nassar no secret, notably tearing up and tossing letters from the convicted sex abuser and encouraging every victim to confront the man she called a monster. She also thanked law enforcement for their diligence, members of the media for reporting, and family and friends for their support.
The leaders of a Senate Commerce subcommittee with jurisdiction over US participation in the Olympics pressed USA Gymnastics President Kerry Perry on Thursday for more information about protocols to stop abuse going forward, as well as background on any requirements that athletes sign nondisclosure agreements.
Detroit Free Press gave the survivors a similar honor.
USOC is also launching an independent investigation into USAG to find out who knew about Nassar's rampant sexual abuse of female gymnasts, who should've known, and which officials failed to report the allegations. He also faces a 60-year federal sentence on child pornography charges.
"Would you really sentence somebody to be subjected to sexual abuse?"
"I made a promise to those women that I would act ... to prevent what happened to them from happening to anyone else", Feinstein said.
The women ranged from famous Olympic gold medalists like Aly Raisman to former gymnasts like Denhollander, now a lawyer, who was the last of the victims to speak on Wednesday and whom Aquilina described as "the bravest person I have ever had in my courtroom".
A United States senator on Thursday (Jan 25) called for congressional hearings on sexual abuse in collegiate and amateur athletics in the aftermath of a massive scandal that has rocked the gymnastics world. She acknowledged being "the focus of this anger" but has denied any cover-up by the university, which employed Nassar.

Victims and others have criticized USA Gymnastics for ignoring their complaints and have accused the federation of suppressing their accounts in a bid to avoid bad publicity.
- Kathie Klages: The former gymnastics coach resigned last year after she was suspended for defending Nassar over the years.
"I pray you experience the soul crushing weight of guilt so you may someday experience true repentance and true forgiveness from God, which you need far more than forgiveness from me - though I extend that to you as well", she said. After it published, the Indy Star began receiving calls from across the country from more of Nassar's victims saying they, too, were abused.
Numerous young athletes had come to Nassar seeking help with gymnastics injuries.
Lawrence said because they aren't a competitive facility, the Children's Gym's membership to USA Gymnastics mainly centered around trainings.
"Quit shaming and blaming the parents", she said.
"She said that she had never come forward before because she thought that no one would believe her, and that this is the first time she felt that she might be believed, and so she wanted to share her story", said Kwiatkowski.
"I testify to let the world know that you are a repulsive liar and those "treatments" were pathetically veiled sexual abuse", Stephens said to Nassar as she read her statement in court.
The U.S. Olympic Committee's CEO, Scott Blackmun, joined the chorus calling for resignations, CNN reported early on Friday.
