"A scorned woman"? They were girls!

Nassar speaking in his letter about scorned women is the essence of the phenomenon: if men can't have their way with women/girls, then the latter will act out of scorn. Men are never guilty. At the most, they are sick. There's always an excuse. But this is inexcusable. And a lot of- apparently- decent people will support this type of attitude; and will speak in favour of the abusers, either knowingly or unknowingly. And victims are gaslighted into silence. Others don't even realize the abuse.Do you know where I happened to notice a rather similar way of inappropriately touching? In gyms, where some personal trainers tend to have too much physical contact with their female clients. This film should be shown in all schools, so girls become aware of what is/isn't acceptable and where the line must be drawn, before it's too late.All those girls put up a strong smile, but how much has it cost them? Watch again, please, at 1:17:00, the expression on the face of the former president of MSU- a woman- when asked about compensations: " ... includes past expenses." with that condescending raised brow, as if to say: "Yeah, yeah, I know it's all about money..." Not all the money in the world can ever compensate the harm that predator did, with the ample complicity of his milieu. The father who committed suicide, I get it. The father who lunged at Nassar in Court, I get that too. What I don't get is how the Nassar specimen escaped any physical abuse, how no one spit him in the face- at least. I hope he'll get his due in prison, though. I also hope that all the others who stand trial will get what they deserve. In this appalling instance, the victims are the only ones whose innocence cannot be denied.

Working Title: USA Gymnastics Abused Young Girls for 30 Years...and Larry Nassar Did Too

Interesting documentary. Larry Nassar is guilty, and deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail.

Unfortunately, Nassar is responsible for 99.9997% of the sexual abuse in the sport, but only about 2% of the overall abuse. The other forms - Physical, Mental, Emotional, Medical - will continue. The USOC, USAG, NCAA, Michigan State University, Academia-at-Large, NBC, ESPN / Disney, GE and a host of Fortune 500 sponsors and hangers-on, have their Fall Guy and they're sticking to it.

Stunning

This is stunning to watch in this format, all together and in your face. What a true American disgrace. One of the best docs in a few years. You walk away hoping for change but knowing it will be hard to see past this one.
