Nassar case shows predatory power of secret settlements
Nassar case shows predatory power of secret settlementsThe Editorial Board | February 5, 2018
One piece of the monstrous Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal has failed
to get as much attention as it deserves: the confidential settlement that
USA Gymnastics reached in 2016 with one of Nassar’s most well-known
victims, McKayla Maroney. The settlement barred the Olympic gold
medalist from speaking publicly about her accusations against Nassar,
and she faced a $100,000 penalty if she did.
But last month, Maroney broke her silence anyway, as Nassar faced
criminal sentencing and the public wrath of scores of courageous girls and women who finally got to
speak about the unspeakable acts they had borne for so long in silence. On Monday, a judge in Michigan
sentenced him to 40-125 years for abusing three more gymnasts, essentially ensuring that Nassar, 54,
will spend the rest of his life in prison.
