Former US gymnasts accuse doctor of sexual assault

  • 7 years ago
Three former U.S. gymnasts, including Olympian Jamie Dantzscher, have spoken out about being sexually assaulted by Dr. Larry Nassar. Dantzscher, her teammate Jeanette Antolin, and three-time rhythmic gymnastics champion Jessica Howard said Nassar sexually assaulted them on “60 Minutes” on Sunday. All three accused Nassar, who was a volunteer doctor for U.S.A. gymnastics, of touching them inappropriately while disguising it as treatment. “He would put his fingers inside of me, move my leg around. He would tell me I was going to feel a pop and that that would put my hips back and help my back pain," Dantzscher said. Nassar currently faces two charges from separate cases, including possession of child pornography and attempt to destroy possible evidence.
