I’m a survivor of sexual abuse and I’m a male . I want to thank these women so much for there powerful stories I encourage any other male or female to come forward if they experience what I had to In college
Thank you for speaking up. My abuse happened when I was 9 and 10 in US Figure Skating. The stigma around male sexual abuse is poisonous. Being honest is the anecdote. Take care ❤
The comments in this thread about how these women came forward for money, or are lying are plain disgusting. This is not a "war on men." This is called justice. This man had accusations against him for years, that were brushed off and ignored for championships, gold medals, and notoriety. The USA Gymnastics Organization covered it up and allowed it to go on. If you are so fragile that you think it's a war on men then you need to check your actions. Victims who stood up to their accusers and put their foot down and said no more, are heroes.
I literally get goosebumps every time I watch this video these girls are making their voices heard so anyone out there speak up don’t let anyone silence you.
a whole generation of kids he abused for such a long time. they are all so brave for coming forward and speaking up against a monster. I hope his imprisonment will help them find closure and peace. God bless them
Even watching this in 2023. This is still heartbreaking to watch in a new unit of time. What these survivors went through is tough to hear about. Hopefully now there is drastic new changes re the USGA and a new code of ethics installed to stamp out this kind of behaviour and hopefully some of these survivors like Ally and Kayla and Simone been installed as new directors on the board. This is still hard to watch even years later
These comments are disgusting these women are brave and strong that judge the right thing. These women have gone through so much and you can dare to say these are false accusations u am disgusted
What if the people who did nothing got the same sentence as the offender? If people were afraid of 170 year sentences, they would move heaven and earth to not only expose people like this but to proactively root them out as a basic function of self preservation. All of USAG, U-M Gymnastics, and the Karolyis should be buried under the jail.
Yes, AND there are many MANY MANY more sexual abuse/assault survivors out there and a LOT more sexual predators. Putting Nassar behind bars is extremely important but that is a drop in the ocean. If victims speak up, hopefully the ripples will be seen
Ali A They were children! Some of them reported it and were ignored or told they were wrong. He was a highly respected, world renowned doctor that took advantage of 100s of children. Don’t victim blame.
Every sexual assault victim regardless of your sexual orientations or gender should be heard. These girls are the representations for our country at the world stage. We have failed them. Our country owe them an apology.
There is a real problem with a society that fails to protect their weakest citizens. We are angry and distraught by the vicious abuse that these young girls were exposed to for many years and above that they were disbelieved and discarded when they tried to address the abuse they encountered. The only way to make their story have a positive impact is by making all the enablers of the abuse be trialed and convicted and sent to jail for the rest of their life's. These women deserve more of the people they trusted.
Yes ESPN, delete the comments. We love living in an increasingly censored society. I will lose all respect for ESPN and I will do my best to stop others from listening if they delete a single comment. We may not like what we are reading but if you are going to put your laundry out to air you know you are opening yourself up to all types of comments. People have the right to comment and if others don't like it they can stop reading, skip over, and ignore them or respond. Notice that I think your comment is pure stupidity and it pissed me off but I am not running whining and crying to anyone to delete the comments because some people think they are "disgusting" You, lady, are helping to promote this entitled victim culture that is so prevalent in our society today. GET OVER YOURSELF! I am now going to find something different to watch because I prefer not to see anymore comments like yours.
Were mothers not allowed in the training rooms when that monster was doing his "treatments." That seems very odd to just let your child go somewhere with a grown man.
roter13, there were times where the mothers were in the training rooms, and he positioned himself so they could not see. Also, Marta Karolyi wouldn't allow parents to stay in the same hotels as the gymnasts during competitions, and multiple gymnasts were "treated" in their own hotel rooms. In the case of McKayla Maroney, there was a time when she was actually drugged, and she woke up to find him "treating" her.
Because TH-cam is filled with trolls who think sexual assault is okay. They dislike all videos about equality uploaded by the TH-cam Spotlight channel, and they cry about nothing.
because the me too movement has fostered a lot ofbullshit accusations and rhetoric against men. however, thats not today they dont have a point and are fundamentally correct: powerful men are more likely to abuse their power for their sexuality and people (vast majority women) were afraid to speak up. and thats lost on people
Like i said in every video about this Im gald Larry Nasser is in prison rioting for the rest of his life. But the Times up and me too movement is still dangerous to men and due process. People are not bringing up the fact that a female head coach and female president know about the assaults
Katy Kenley I don't think so. All this me metoo movement stuff and SJW pricks coming out of the woodwork. How do you know if they are even true?? I can say that you taped me and people would believe it.
David Dodge "How do you know if they are even true??" Nassar was proven guilty a long time ago. At that point you should realize it's time to stop defending him.
I’m a survivor of sexual abuse and I’m a male . I want to thank these women so much for there powerful stories
I encourage any other male or female to come forward if they experience what I had to In college
Austin! Bravo to your bravery!!!!👏👏
tell us your story (without name of course )
we know from your story and the Sandusky Case that sexual assault survivors can indeed be male too. I hope you continue on your path to healing.

TH-cam for you. Always a bunch of kids under 10 years old who go against equality because other people do. They'll find out later in life.
These were little girls, when this happened to them. I can't believe people would accuse little kids of trying to capitalize on their abuse.
Kristin Folck You're absolutely right, Kristin.
@@CROSSTATT
No, she's not.
Kristin Folck TLDR
I literally get goosebumps every time I watch this video these girls are making their voices heard so anyone out there speak up don’t let anyone silence you.
Instead of blaming the victims, blame the guilty man who destroyed these girls' lives
a whole generation of kids he abused for such a long time. they are all so brave for coming forward and speaking up against a monster. I hope his imprisonment will help them find closure and peace. God bless them
More than one generation.
Is it just me or I can't stop watching this. Its so empowering. D
Feel so bad for all the women who were abused. Love you all, gymnasts
The comments make me sick. These victim-shaming people are part of the problem!

You women are so brave and strong. Thank you for sharing your story
This was extremely powerful.
These comments are disgusting these women are brave and strong that judge the right thing. These women have gone through so much and you can dare to say these are false accusations u am disgusted

What a sicko, I am glad he got caught and put away for good. You can't trust anyone no matter who they are.
Don't stay slient. Speak up.
Yes, AND there are many MANY MANY more sexual abuse/assault survivors out there and a LOT more sexual predators. Putting Nassar behind bars is extremely important but that is a drop in the ocean. If victims speak up, hopefully the ripples will be seen
They did. No one listened
Don't stop until things change and those responsible are held responsible.
These women are strong, beautiful and inspiring. ❤️
So proud of these women!
Marigrace I’m not. Pathetic they didn’t speak and let a man touch and finger their vaginas.
Ali A Dude this was sexual assault. Stop defending him, because he was proven guilty a very long time ago.
Ali A They were children! Some of them reported it and were ignored or told they were wrong. He was a highly respected, world renowned doctor that took advantage of 100s of children. Don’t victim blame.
I'm proud of the innocent men that are incarcerated every day due to false rape accusations like these. Stand up to the #metoo movement!
We salute you ALL🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾go ladies💛You will reap what you sow
I was at the espy and this was so sad how baby Larry Nassar treats the girls
These Poor Girls wanting to do what they wanted to do & This man destroyed their Lives.

Don’t wait. Speak up
They did, 30 years ago. No one listened to them.
Sad & Sick
This is awesome!
I wonder how many women are taken advantage of at ESPN.
Jose SO
lmao you right!
ESPN please delete these disgusting comments!
Thank you! I totally agree
Yes ESPN, delete the comments. We love living in an increasingly censored society.

Did Jennifer Garner narrate this video? Sounds like her. Great video.
yep she did
She’s so bad in it.
wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... and went on so long.

Why has Shawn Johnson never said anything?
They, the gymnast, said it, about how sexual abusive Larry Nassar was to them or gymnasts.
#brave #sufferinsilencenomore
Why do videos like this get a lot of dislikes? Idk about all of this so I don’t got an opinion but I’m wondering why it does
Because TH-cam is filled with trolls who think sexual assault is okay. They dislike all videos about equality uploaded by the TH-cam Spotlight channel, and they cry about nothing.
Arjun Akella "equality"
Sees no abused boys being awarded.
because the me too movement has fostered a lot ofbullshit accusations and rhetoric against men. however, thats not today they dont have a point and are fundamentally correct: powerful men are more likely to abuse their power for their sexuality and people (vast majority women) were afraid to speak up. and thats lost on people
kefkapalazzo1
Women are more likely to (ab)use their sexuality to gain power....
Bruhhh
Can someone explain what exactly the "treatment" is?
What about the Lebron and the raptors in the playoffs
While we're talking about rape LeBum got raped 6 times in the Finals
Fuck LeBum bro you got to chill, I watched this emotional video then you say one of the stupid comment lmao
You must be the biggest LeBron fan ever
Fuck LeBum what a sad life to make an account to slander another mans name that doesnt even know you exist
Sup feminists in chat
Like i said in every video about this Im gald Larry Nasser is in prison rioting for the rest of his life. But the Times up and me too movement is still dangerous to men and due process. People are not bringing up the fact that a female head coach and female president know about the assaults
Jesus ok espn don’t make so epic
This is not epic , this is a big thing so it has to be like that-
Chance of me being label a rapist for hitting on women just went up.
P L You're officially an idiot. Pedophilia is not hitting on someone.
So... R u a feminist?
P L ummmm.....I don't see what being a feminist has to do with being a human being with compassion. They can be the same. Frig.
There's a difference btw talking to a woman and a feminist. LOL that u put feminist, human, and compassion in the same sentence.
#HimToo
And this is why I stopped watching the ESPYs
Katy Kenley I don't think so. All this me metoo movement stuff and SJW pricks coming out of the woodwork. How do you know if they are even true?? I can say that you taped me and people would believe it.
David Dodge this man admitted to doing this and fbi found thousands of child pornography on his computer. Still don’t know if it’s true?
Katy Kenley Ok.
David Dodge "How do you know if they are even true??"
Nassar was proven guilty a long time ago. At that point you should realize it's time to stop defending him.
I never defended anyone.
Boooo 👎👎
GAY!!!!!!!!!!!
