Former Olympian Says USA Gymnastics Manipulated Her After She Was Assaulted By Larry Nassar
Former Olympian Says USA Gymnastics Manipulated Her After She Was Assaulted By Larry NassarA former Olympic gymnasts says she was abused by convicted child molester (and former USA Gymnastics doctor) Larry Nassar and then manipulated into supporting the organization.
Tasha Schwikert, 33, who competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, told ABC News that former USAG president Steve Penny called her in February 2017 — just before three former gymnasts spoke out about Nassar in a headline-making 60 Minutes interview.
“He contacted me at probably one of the most vulnerable times of my life,” Schwikert told ABC. She said that Penny abruptly asked whether Nassar had abused her and Schwikert, who caught off guard, replied, “No.”
However, Schwikert told the publication that Nassar has sexually abused her more than 100 times at the Karolyi Ranch beginning when she was 16 years old.
