Former Olympian Tasha Schwikert says she was abused by Larry Nassar, ‘manipulated’ into supporting USA GymnasticsA former Olympic gymnast said in an exclusive interview with ABC News that she was sexually abused by former team doctor Larry Nassar for years, and claimed that in 2017, USA Gymnastics’ then-president had manipulated her into agreeing to a statement of support for the organization.
Tasha Schwikert, 33, told ABC News that, shortly before a February 2017 “60 Minutes” interview where three former gymnasts alleged sexual abuse by Nassar, Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics at the time, called her unexpectedly, saying, “We’re in some trouble.”
She said that he had asked whether she’d been abused by Nassar, and that in that moment she told him “no.”
