One year later, survivors of Larry Nassar’s abuse reflect on trials and triumphs
One year later, survivors of Larry Nassar’s abuse reflect on trials and triumphsLast year, on Jan. 16, 2018, a steady stream of survivors strode to the podium of an Ingham County courthouse, faced their abuser, Larry Nassar, and captivated the country with their resilience and strength. And each day, more and more survivors were emboldened to come forward. By the time Nassar was sentenced in Michigan to a lifetime behind bars for sexual abuse, 156 had delivered victim impact statements. Middle-aged women, college athletes, elite gymnasts and just barely teenagers confronted Nassar and in doing so revealed to the world the depths of his depravity and decades of his sexual abuse. And while those images became seared into the collective consciousness as portraits of courage, there was often so much to each survivor’s story we never knew — what they had been through, what it took to get there and what would ultimately lie ahead following his dramatic sentencing. For this story, we talked to three of those survivors about the reality of what the past year has been like and what the world did not get to see.
