McKayla Maroney, Statement for 9/15 Hearing titled: Dereliction of Duty: Examining the Inspector Genereal’s Report on the FBI’s handling of the Larry Nassar Investigation
McKayla Maroney, Statement for 9/15 Hearing titled: Dereliction of Duty: Examining the Inspector Genereal’s Report on the FBI’s handling of the Larry Nassar InvestigationGood morning. Thank you Chairman Durbin, Ranking Member Grassley, and Members of the Judiciary Committee for inviting me to speak today.
As most of you are probably aware, I was molested by the USA Gymnastics National Team, and Olympic Team doctor, Larry Nassar. In actuality, he turned out to be more of a pedophile than he was a doctor, as I was molested hundreds of times in my bed, including the night before competing in the Olympic Games in London. I’m not here to talk about that though, but what I do need to talk to you about is unfortunately for me, something equally disturbing, and I can’t even believe I am here having to speak up about it. Recently I found out that when I reported the abuse that I had endured to the FBI, that there were certain FBI agents who chose to falsify what I said and conceal Nassar’s crimes from the public, the media, other law enforcement agencies, and most importantly, other victims. After reading the Office of the Inspector General’s (“OIG”) report, I felt completely betrayed because when I disclosed my abuse to those whom I believed were trusted to protect the public, they chose to lie about what I said, they chose to silence me and attempted to discredit me. They chose to protect a serial child molester, rather than protect not only me but countless others. What I’m trying to bring to your attention today is that sworn law enforcement agents multiple times made “materially false statements”, in the OIG report and it was directly attributed to me.
