I think the country will be hearing from the high profile victims from time to time. Ms. Maroney was molested hundreds of times by that monster. How does that happen? There are only seven in a week. It must be horrible to live with that nightmare. Of course, what makes it worse is they were helpless to end the abuse.
It is only right the American people are reminded of these episodes, no different than when Penn State had Jerry Sandusky running loose among it's athletes. I think reminding the public of these horrible episodes of sexual abuse will only strengthen the resolve of the country and the international committees to eliminate all of it.
One other thing and the reason foster parenting gives me pause is "The Second Mile" which Sandusky built as a place for foster children to grow up to become responsible citizens. It became his gaming compound. I read something recently about another such horrible incident recently. I think there were nine young people involved. These assaultive incidents seem to occur in areas where parents are not around, such as training camps and examination rooms.
Why wasn't Nassar required to have a female assistant or nurse in the room when examinations were taking place? The questions are many with all these incidents and the answers are slow.
Rather than a training camp, perhaps when an athlete qualifies for the Olympic team, they are provided a stipend to cover their training and travel. They had coaches before they had Olympic coaches.

McKayla Maroney
In an interview (click here) with NBC that will be televised Sunday night, Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney said Larry Nassar molested her "hundreds" of times, including on her first visit to Karolyi Ranch, the USA Gymnatics team's training facility in Texas.
"He said that nobody would understand this and the sacrifice that it takes to get to the Olympics. So you can't tell people this," Maroney told NBC. "I actually was like, 'That makes sense. I don't want to tell anybody about this.' I didn't believe that they would understand."
NBC published excerpts of Maroney's interview Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours after she made her first public comments about Nassar at The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children charity luncheon in New York....
...Nassar will spend the rest of his life in prison after receiving two sentences of at least 40 years each in separate Michigan courts earlier this year, in addition to a 60-year sentence on federal child pornography charges in December. Nassar would serve the state sentences concurrently after his federal term....
