I heard that the judge in the case told Nassar at his sentencing that instead of jail time the judge should allow the fathers of all the victims 5 minutes alone in a room with him, but the judge said unfortunately that is against the law. That is too bad. That is exactly what should have happened. The same should go for the FBI agents who sat on this. This is just like the human trafficking that goes on and nothing is really addressed. Congress is too busy taking care of other businesses that they think is more important.
It kills me how the law is all of a sudden such a concern when it’s the freaking criminal that broke the law for YEARS!!! How come a blind eye isn’t turned when it’s toward those who deserve it!!!
The most infuriating part about this was when one of the Senators said, "If and when we do something..." IF?!? Are you kidding me?! That right there PROVES that there's no certainty this will ever be dealt with. If that's your immediate response it shows you already have doubts in your mind that justice will come.
@@teresamorgan4529 actually she didn't. In speaking of doing justice for these victims, she said, "You have played a big role, if and when we do, of making it happen," and then she ended her speech. There was no correction. I'm talking about the Senator at 44:10 who said she hopes and believes they will take action. She was trying to be kind to them, but using that kind of uncertain language is incredibly discouraging to women who have already waited six years for justice. If you tell an abuse victim "if" you receive justice, that just shows that you're already including the option in your mind that they won't. She should have stated strongly and emphatically, "We WILL take action on this immediately." That would not only bring true hope to these victims, but it would also put a healthy pressure on the other Senators to actually take action and fulfill their promises.
I caught that too. It is precisely THAT type of thing that continues to victimize all over again. I guarantee you that her "if and when" statement is what took the greatest toll on these gymnasts that day. After all of this time, after all of the testimonies... there is an IF??!!! What does that say to them?! AGAIN, their trauma is marginalized. THEY feel marginalized as people. They have been pleading to those in authority for years, "Please help us!" They finally get the ear of an entity they think will step up... and they hear "IF" It's devastating.
Why are men in charge of cases like this? It is atrocious! I would like to know what the FBI agent was doing with his hands, when he was interviewing the little girl on the phone, and asking for such details, which should have been done in person and by a woman!
There's nothing not run by men. That's why "we" barely investigate and prosecute CSA and r, at all. That's why every time a woman tells her story comedians do a belittlement routine and men show up with full name in the media to shout "not all men" and "we don't have the facts, she's probably lying for attention, that's how women are". That's why we live in a pornified culture and why the Google men delete any mention of the "s. trade" using the words that correctly describe it that was the end of this sentence. It happens to me every day. They don't allow the mention of the words that simply denote it.
That is true - I would be livid if I were the parent and found out my child was interrogated for child abuse by ANYONE and I was not present- especially if it pertains to someone in power that was close to my child! The interrogators should be removed IMMEDIATELY without pay and should not be allowed to work for the FBI (or any similar position) again! I am sure if the parents were involved in the initial interrogation, the FBI probably wouldn't have taken their sweet time or even consider hiding the facts!

There's probably an underage athlete alone with a team doctor right now cause the parents or coaches or the people who profit off sport are afraid to lose their spot, but whose protecting these kids? Someone needs to protect these kids
This breaks my heart in a million Pieces! How could so many turn a blind eye to what this young girls went through! ACCOUNABILITY FOR EVERY PERSON WHO SAID AND DID NOTHING FOR SO LONG!
Our government needs to be taking all the agents to trials and imprisonment for life. These young women will live with the shame of what happened to them for the rest of their lives. Every agency of the American government needs to be cleaned up along with the rest of the swamp. SHAMEFUL. no justice.. no peace!

It disgusts me that these young women are put in this position Grateful that they are brave enough but saddened its needed They SHOULD have been protected IMMEDIATELY AFTER reporting the abuse Be strong beautiful girls 💙💜❤
yeah, I hate how that congresswoman said "if and when we prosecute" there is so much acting here, this system of 'justice' in our country seems weak and corrupt...
remember you cannot speak out against the FBI, hope they aren't targeted for telling the truth. all the agents that ignored this should be prosecuted or at least relieved of their positions
Yeah that's nice and all for them to say "We'll do something about this", "Thing's will change", etc. Things should have changed the day there was an accusation put forward that Nasar was abusing young girls on the national gymnastics team that proudly represents us in the Olympics and in worldwide competitions. The safety of these young girls should have been the number one priority, and everyone around them, especially the FBI, failed. Every single adult involved should have put their full effort in reporting these abuses and getting the word out that there were children being harmed. Why are they making these women, who have already been through so much, testify for action against these FBI agents when they should have already been fired, and at the very least, made to serve time for their crimes? This is all words. There has been no action up until now, and I worry that there won't be.
Oh how I long for the good ole days when Larry Nassar would have been publicly strung up and castrated as a deterrent to the horrible abuse he inflected upon these young women and countless others !!
These Witnesses, should have their Therapy Paid by the United States Government; or, re-reimbursement to the families for their expenses!! Prosecutions alone are not enough!!!
I don't know why but I was surprised that Senator Grassley wasn't more voiciferous. Hearing Senator Leahy ask the girls what kind of justice they wanted was ridiculous. If he doesn't know already he should resign his seat.
Why are they asking them thngs like "when will justice be served and what does accountability look like?" We have laws in place... its almost like they are bargaining with them. What can we do to push this under the rug for the 800th time.
America have a couple things that need to be addressed 1. Why can't a gymnist choose their own coach and physician? 2.. what made they think that mix gender trainer without supervision is a good idea? 3. Why does the parents believe that free range parenting is a good idea? 4. Why aren't the parents asking their children tough questions? 5.why aren't these minors given proper counseling and communicate the issues with their parents?
I remember a time when going to a party you were with a chaperone. Same reason gynecologists must have a female present when doing exams, abuse was addressed.
And why the heck are coaches / trainers allowed to cup the buttocks of gymnast in their hand while hugging them after they get finished with a performance? I’ve seen this happen a lot over the years . It seems inappropriate to me to havre a grown man do this . I’ve seen girls turn their head and smile to the cameras when this has happened . I not sure why this has ever been seen as ok …….
The Senators keep talking about their strength and those terrible people that did nothing and covered it up. When the ladies talked about the abuse still going on with the current system, there was little followup questions asking about the current system and it's failures........like so many hearings, it seems to be another show.....
total show. let's not pretend these senators have real power, do not GIVE them your power. they don't know how to use power. they are being cowards and not saying what real lasting change they will make. what accountability they will ensure. disgusting and sad.
Absolutely disgusting. The fact that this went on for so long and was brushed aside is horrific. God Bless these women and their courage for coming forward to save countless others.
Es ESTADOS UNIDOS, es normal que en ese país existan asesinos seriales y abusadores de niños, por décadas se sabe que en ese país se crean los peores depredadores. Ese país nunca cambiará.
We need to reconsider some of our most powerful agencies and organizations. Especially since they appear to be free from accountability. What on earth might be happening to millions more children? It is unthinkable.
you don't just owe them "an APOLOGY" you owe them systematic REFORM and accountability of the entire olympic committee.... you owe them people not making MONEY off their covered up abuse and suffering!
This is just scratching the surface of FBI, etc., corruption + this has been public knowledge for quite awhile & only now is it getting any kind if governmental hearing/acknowledgement..
"All that is required for evil to triump is for good men to do nothing" is the saying but I think it's safe to say that you could replace men with people. It's up to good people of any gender to speak up.
yep and we should be boycotting the olympics (which makes criminals lots of money covering up this abuse) UNTIL we see real change, the change these ladies asked for so clearly. all the senators just responded with poetry... not PLANS.
Courageous and heart wrenching testimonies. I hope some changes are made. Horrific to think of all of those girls suffering makes me feel sick. They are brave and they are speaking for the future athletes. I hope it’s taken seriously
This almost brought me to tears because i have been following this case for years and as a victim of asssult myself it touched a nerve the disgusting way the authorities handled it just hurts me i am so proud of all these amazing young women just hearing their stories is empowering so proud of them takes so much to tell your own story
I hope to God these poor girls dont just get lip service!!!! Anyone that had anything to do with this disgusting display of abuse of power needs to be put under the prison !!
Why did you have to bring God into this? If there really was a God, why did he allow this to happen in the first place? After all, isn't God all-knowing and all-mighty?
Abuse cases Not getting any better, college campus stories still unnecessarily heard of too often. Your courageous perseverance is respected. I'm sure your work has made a difference.😇
Witness courage at its finest! Regarding ALL in ANY position of POWER...whether home, church, employment, business, school, community, government...swift and firm individual and institutional accountability is critical! Strict oversight from more than one source, void of any conflict of interest, is requisite to stopping abuse before it even gets started. May the voices of TRUTH be triumphant!
Any best practices childhood setting, including sports organizations and facilities, should have at least two Supervising Adults at all times, in all halls, with strict restroom rules. Abusers stay under the radar because they CAN. Sick, insecure, powerseeker sociopaths must not be tolerated.
Video time stamp at 28:30, comment from Mr. Durbin. No truer statement. He says: "I've been in a lot of committee hearings; I can't remember compelling testimony like we've heard this morning ever before because you had the courage to come up and tell the world what happened to you."
Has any progress been made, or did they just put this hearing in for SHOW? Some of these men speaking have very criminal pasts and shouldn't be in the positions they are in. Makes me sick.
The one comment made by Sen. Feinstein, sticks in my mind because she stated it more than once was, “if and when…” What did she mean, if and when they get something done? These young women have already spent years waiting and petitioning for the organizations to have charges filed against them. They should have their therapy paid for by Nassau and the organizations who ignored them and other monies to be paid to the women or organizations these women choose.
Exactly my thoughts. Sen Feinstein sat across the table in her office listening while these distraught young ladies cried their hearts out having to recount their horrific experiences. How is it possible that she matter of factly, in a dead pan voice, responded with “if and when?” What a heartless disgusting woman!
What about the girls and boys that they actually did repot it and the judges let their abusers go free what happens to them? Proof is in the pudding these young women will be haunted by this for the rest of their lives,by this monster, but its just talk until something is done it will continue and now its in your hands.
How is this possible in your country? More than 300 abuses and during several years with no reaction during such a long period. For me this is unbelievable. One could think we talking of Afghanistan, no we are talking of USA. This is not the greatest country in the world. Where is FBI, the USAG or USOC?
Tragic dare election of duty wonder how much money it cost them for them to not do their job. I can only imagine there's money to be made off of these girls from the organizations that spring up on the backs of their talent
Certainly if 4 kids come forward it's time to shut everything down until the truth can come out following an investigation. My heart hurts for these young women. They are heroes. It is incredibly hard for them to testify. What they still face in a battle with PTSD is staggering. My heart aches. Love, prayers, and admiration. Agreed exemplary, amazing, heroic young women.
Perhaps they can organize and create a privet inspection teem that can help to supervise this type of investigations and procedures, so that necesary steps are followed, and maybe have a epresentative of the same who can acompany the victim in each steps of the process, and taht the victims can go to them first if they need it. Way and to prevent this fromhappening they can aldo have a representative from them on trips, etc. But don't leave it only intheir hands... (the hands of the state..)
To all these amazing and strong women that stood up in court and denounced this monster Larry Nassar, I am sorry is too little, I am ashamed to be a young man, knowing that a man did that to you all and can potentially do that to someone else’s daughter. When a person does that to you, he is a pathetic coward and not a man. At 32, I have promised myself to always listen and not question when a woman says something like that, it has to be true and it must be immediately taken seriously, a woman would never jeopardize her integrity by publicly saying she was abused if it wasn’t true. Thank god some of us are raised decently by our parents. I cried when I watched this video, I was horrified. I pray for your continued strength in womanhood.
Watching this after the fact, realising all of their praise and song and thoughts and prayers was just that. Nothing happened to the main enablers of this travesty.
These senators for the most part with the exception of a few are condescending, I especially take offense with the females because they SHOULD know better ! They are all in positions of power just like Nassar was , I wonder how much they really understand what this type of abuse and trauma does to your psyche and how crippling it is for the rest of your life
These poor kids. It's sickening. And our vaunted and trusted FBI drops the ball again. On PURPOSE. I thought we paid them to ensure justice... We really need to clean that house or this will continue to happen.
I apploud all these women for speaking out. However, I wish instead of hearing the commitee just tell them how brave they are I would rather hear them tell these ladies what ther are going to do about it and the actions they will be taking....Talk is cheap, take action!
I met Corey Booker, of all those people in suits pretending to be leaders, he got the closest to speaking truth, BUT still, COREY, I want change. Action. YOUR BRAVERY. come on.
Finally these young ladies are getting the justice they deserve! The people who kept ignoring the abuse are just as much to blame as the perpetrator! If something would’ve been done earlier there would’ve been far less victims! All these young ladies came forward and they kept getting ignored, it shouldn’t be the survivors job to constantly seek the justice that they deserve! The FBI waited 14 months to report their statements of abuse and they fabricated those statements! 14 MONTHS!!! He should’ve been locked up long ago but instead was allowed to sexually abuse more victims! It was their duty to protect these CHILDREN, instead they protected this monster for their own selfish reasons. I am absolutely disgusted with the Olympic Committee, USA gymnastics and the FBI Agents involved for ENABLING this man to continue abusing these CHILDREN!! 🤬🤬
if they don´t care about children let alone in the olympics-team what do they care about then? it must be something really low with no niveau at all something sociopaths get off on
Thank you for sharing your stories and all of you are in my prayers and thoughts, but remember that all of you are save protected from all around you because Ally raisman Simone biles and Mikayla maroney I love you for who you are because you are not alone trust yourself, that all of you deserve better
Now, imagine how many times before this guy haa been reported, officially or unofficially, an e how many times these reports were just IGNORED. Literarly : the soceity needed 500+ CHILDREN to be sexually abused, before to take action. Moreover, all of this exploded only when FAMOUS athlets talked about, so we need to thank the fact they had power, otherwise silence would have been kept.

Now these sextual misconduct are in open what are you going to do? My guess is that these politicians will not act to advance the justice. Talk talk talk many pretty words but they never really care enough to do right thing.
Anyone accused of child abuse needs to be suspended immediately until a full and complete investigation is done very simple !!! This is disgusting
Well no. Innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. I agree this is disgusting, but no matter what you’re accused of I cannot support punishment before a trial
Yea well when it comes to citizens ,we are guilty untill proven innocent. Why is that?
Unfortunately, a full investigation will never happen. Not until we get rid of these corrupt politicians who are guarding the gate.

There's probably an underage athlete alone with a team doctor right now cause the parents or coaches or the people who profit off sport are afraid to lose their spot, but whose protecting these kids? Someone needs to protect these kids
This breaks my heart in a million Pieces! How could so many turn a blind eye to what this young girls went through! ACCOUNABILITY FOR EVERY PERSON WHO SAID AND DID NOTHING FOR SO LONG!
When the DOJ refuses to even come to the hearing by the US Senate, you know it is just a dog and pony show.
DOJ is Department of Just Us.
Our government needs to be taking all the agents to trials and imprisonment for life. These young women will live with the shame of what happened to them for the rest of their lives. Every agency of the American government needs to be cleaned up along with the rest of the swamp. SHAMEFUL. no justice.. no peace!
The whites, too, shall pass - perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste' - Chief Seattle
I think we all know what 'waste' means. It's time that America sees the contaminated bed that it is! The authorities are still concealing and allowing massive abuse, right now. A true terrorist country. This young lady needs to be the future of America. She's absolutely world class.
It disgusts me that these young women are put in this position
Grateful that they are brave enough but saddened its needed
They SHOULD have been protected IMMEDIATELY AFTER reporting the abuse
Be strong beautiful girls 💙💜❤
yeah, I hate how that congresswoman said "if and when we prosecute" there is so much acting here, this system of 'justice' in our country seems weak and corrupt...
remember you cannot speak out against the FBI, hope they aren't targeted for telling the truth. all the agents that ignored this should be prosecuted or at least relieved of their positions
..including losing their pensions.
Yeah that's nice and all for them to say "We'll do something about this", "Thing's will change", etc. Things should have changed the day there was an accusation put forward that Nasar was abusing young girls on the national gymnastics team that proudly represents us in the Olympics and in worldwide competitions. The safety of these young girls should have been the number one priority, and everyone around them, especially the FBI, failed. Every single adult involved should have put their full effort in reporting these abuses and getting the word out that there were children being harmed. Why are they making these women, who have already been through so much, testify for action against these FBI agents when they should have already been fired, and at the very least, made to serve time for their crimes? This is all words. There has been no action up until now, and I worry that there won't be.
Oh how I long for the good ole days when Larry Nassar would have been publicly strung up and castrated as a deterrent to the horrible abuse he inflected upon these young women and countless others !!
Hopefully the inmates have word on his crimes. They don’t look too lightly on child and women abusers.
So the senate makes a big show to make you think they care. They will do nothing. This needs to be heard in a court of law.
These Witnesses, should have their Therapy Paid by the United States Government; or, re-reimbursement to the families for their expenses!! Prosecutions alone are not enough!!!
The fbi should be brought to justice for this hanis act
YES. and we as consumers, should boycott the olympics and all the brands that make millions/billinos off of them, UNTIL there is JUSTICE.
I had wondered why Simone needing to take a mental health break this year but now I get it. God this is all messed up.
I don't know why but I was surprised that Senator Grassley wasn't more voiciferous. Hearing Senator Leahy ask the girls what kind of justice they wanted was ridiculous. If he doesn't know already he should resign his seat.
I think they should both resign .
Why are they asking them thngs like "when will justice be served and what does accountability look like?" We have laws in place... its almost like they are bargaining with them. What can we do to push this under the rug for the 800th time.
wow, very very wise of you to see that. thank you.
America have a couple things that need to be addressed
1. Why can't a gymnist choose their own coach and physician?
2.. what made they think that mix gender trainer without supervision is a good idea?
3. Why does the parents believe that free range parenting is a good idea?
4. Why aren't the parents asking their children tough questions?
5.why aren't these minors given proper counseling and communicate the issues with their parents?
I remember a time when going to a party you were with a chaperone. Same reason gynecologists must have a female present when doing exams, abuse was addressed.
Watch the documentary "Athlete A" - it explains the culture of high level gymnastics
And why the heck are coaches / trainers allowed to cup the buttocks of gymnast in their hand while hugging them after they get finished with a performance? I’ve seen this happen a lot over the years . It seems inappropriate to me to havre a grown man do this . I’ve seen girls turn their head and smile to the cameras when this has happened . I not sure why this has ever been seen as ok …….
Most of the committee members couldn't have been more condesendimg. THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!
The Senators keep talking about their strength and those terrible people that did nothing and covered it up. When the ladies talked about the abuse still going on with the current system, there was little followup questions asking about the current system and it's failures........like so many hearings, it seems to be another show.....
total show. let's not pretend these senators have real power, do not GIVE them your power. they don't know how to use power. they are being cowards and not saying what real lasting change they will make. what accountability they will ensure. disgusting and sad.
This happen not only in USA but in every county in the world ….hope those other have the courage of these girls
Absolutely disgusting. The fact that this went on for so long and was brushed aside is horrific. God Bless these women and their courage for coming forward to save countless others.
Es ESTADOS UNIDOS, es normal que en ese país existan asesinos seriales y abusadores de niños, por décadas se sabe que en ese país se crean los peores depredadores. Ese país nunca cambiará.
Who are the creeps giving thumbs-down to this? They are incredibly brave for speaking up.
Progressives and some liberals mostly.
Maybe they dislike what happened to them
@@venusandathena Let's hope that's the case.
I just looked at the dislikes and was like whooo who on earth ?
I’d say those who don’t believe the senators but also creeps.
I hope this is made into a movie so that the message can *really* get out there. End the movie with a PSA of how to report pedophiles.
Bob Costas interviewed Aly, she has done Amazon Prime, Netflix. Athlete A. Few other docs too on the "Gymnastics", remember the Russian Couple?
May God bless all this women. They are all heroes
We need to reconsider some of our most powerful agencies and organizations. Especially since they appear to be free from accountability.
What on earth might be happening to millions more children? It is unthinkable.
you don't just owe them "an APOLOGY" you owe them systematic REFORM and accountability of the entire olympic committee.... you owe them people not making MONEY off their covered up abuse and suffering!
Justice for Maroney, she was the one that open the lid, was black listed.
This is disgusting. I'm not proud of the leaders in America. This is unsuitable.
This is just scratching the surface of FBI, etc., corruption + this has been public knowledge for quite awhile & only now is it getting any kind if governmental hearing/acknowledgement..
You young woman are opening many eyes, your bravery will never be forgotten. Thank you, you all are making a difference to humanity.
"All that is required for evil to triump is for good men to do nothing" is the saying but I think it's safe to say that you could replace men with people. It's up to good people of any gender to speak up.
The fact that it took a Netflix documentary last year to kick this onto the floor should tell you all you need to know about politics in America.
AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!! stop giving power to people in suits in D.C. it's all smoke and mirrors
These are very brave ladies. Every single person who tried to protect their abuser or brush this under the rug should also be accountable.
yep and we should be boycotting the olympics (which makes criminals lots of money covering up this abuse) UNTIL we see real change, the change these ladies asked for so clearly. all the senators just responded with poetry... not PLANS.
Courage in the Senate rarely comes from politicians - and here's another good example.
All politicians are spineless cowards, Democrat or Republican. Anyone who puts an effort of trust into them is an absolute clown.
Courageous and heart wrenching testimonies. I hope some changes are made. Horrific to think of all of those girls suffering makes me feel sick. They are brave and they are speaking for the future athletes. I hope it’s taken seriously
I didn't know Biles was one of the victims. That makes her triumphs in 2024 much more impressive.
This almost brought me to tears because i have been following this case for years and as a victim of asssult myself it touched a nerve the disgusting way the authorities handled it just hurts me i am so proud of all these amazing young women just hearing their stories is empowering so proud of them takes so much to tell your own story
FBI needs to be made accountable.... very disturbing.... future job opportunities has caused blind eyes in the truth of these matters.
I hope to God these poor girls dont just get lip service!!!! Anyone that had anything to do with this disgusting display of abuse of power needs to be put under the prison !!
Why did you have to bring God into this? If there really was a God, why did he allow this to happen in the first place? After all, isn't God all-knowing and all-mighty?
I have been trying to hold the religion I was raised accountable for 40 years. You can't say a victim matters then dismiss the off hand!
Abuse cases Not getting any better, college campus stories still unnecessarily heard of too often. Your courageous perseverance is respected. I'm sure your work has made a difference.😇
Witness courage at its finest! Regarding ALL in ANY position of POWER...whether home, church, employment, business, school, community, government...swift and firm individual and institutional accountability is critical! Strict oversight from more than one source, void of any conflict of interest, is requisite to stopping abuse before it even gets started. May the voices of TRUTH be triumphant!
Any best practices childhood setting, including sports organizations and facilities, should have at least two Supervising Adults at all times, in all halls, with strict restroom rules. Abusers stay under the radar because they CAN. Sick, insecure, powerseeker sociopaths must not be tolerated.
She is also a giant humanitarian for giving testimony. They all are ❤️
Video time stamp at 28:30, comment from Mr. Durbin. No truer statement. He says: "I've been in a lot of committee hearings; I can't remember compelling testimony like we've heard this morning ever before because you had the courage to come up and tell the world what happened to you."
aly raisman is so well spoken, thank you for articulating your experience and opinions on improvements
Maggie Simone biles Mikayla and ally thank you for your bravery and determination and healing grace
You go girls! You deserve justice & they all should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The comments from those representatives are EMPTY!!!! and no one of "POWER" will be held accountable.
I am 74 yrs old and was abused my husband of 53 yrs. I went the legal route, and my case was ignored, and he walks free today.
Has any progress been made, or did they just put this hearing in for SHOW? Some of these men speaking have very criminal pasts and shouldn't be in the positions they are in. Makes me sick.
and two years later still nothing done
The one comment made by Sen. Feinstein, sticks in my mind because she stated it more than once was, “if and when…” What did she mean, if and when they get something done? These young women have already spent years waiting and petitioning for the organizations to have charges filed against them. They should have their therapy paid for by Nassau and the organizations who ignored them and other monies to be paid to the women or organizations these women choose.
Exactly my thoughts. Sen Feinstein sat across the table in her office listening while these distraught young ladies cried their hearts out having to recount their horrific experiences. How is it possible that she matter of factly, in a dead pan voice, responded with “if and when?” What a heartless disgusting woman!
If Nassar were black-the FBI would of tooken notice.
What about the girls and boys that they actually did repot it and the judges let their abusers go free what happens to them? Proof is in the pudding these young women will be haunted by this for the rest of their lives,by this monster, but its just talk until something is done it will continue and now its in your hands.
Go Mckyla!!! Courageous girls! Keep pushing!
How is this possible in your country? More than 300 abuses and during several years with no reaction during such a long period. For me this is unbelievable. One could think we talking of Afghanistan, no we are talking of USA. This is not the greatest country in the world. Where is FBI, the USAG or USOC?
Tragic dare election of duty wonder how much money it cost them for them to not do their job. I can only imagine there's money to be made off of these girls from the organizations that spring up on the backs of their talent
JUST DO YOUR JOB! Congress
We are tired of waiting for YOU to do something!
Defund the FBI
Well, that won't happen. The FBI has collected evidence of dirt on every even slightly bent "important" person.
@@tenzinnordron9836 exactly…. Defund the FBI
Aly Raisman did a great job. Very well spoken and on point. Well done👏
My hat is off for this brave women.
Certainly if 4 kids come forward it's time to shut everything down until the truth can come out following an investigation. My heart hurts for these young women. They are heroes. It is incredibly hard for them to testify. What they still face in a battle with PTSD is staggering. My heart aches. Love, prayers, and admiration. Agreed exemplary, amazing, heroic young women.
Perhaps they can organize and create a privet inspection teem that can help to supervise this type of investigations and procedures, so that necesary steps are followed, and maybe have a epresentative of the same who can acompany the victim in each steps of the process, and taht the victims can go to them first if they need it. Way and to prevent this fromhappening they can aldo have a representative from them on trips, etc. But don't leave it only intheir hands... (the hands of the state..)
To all these amazing and strong women that stood up in court and denounced this monster Larry Nassar, I am sorry is too little, I am ashamed to be a young man, knowing that a man did that to you all and can potentially do that to someone else’s daughter. When a person does that to you, he is a pathetic coward and not a man. At 32, I have promised myself to always listen and not question when a woman says something like that, it has to be true and it must be immediately taken seriously, a woman would never jeopardize her integrity by publicly saying she was abused if it wasn’t true. Thank god some of us are raised decently by our parents. I cried when I watched this video, I was horrified. I pray for your continued strength in womanhood.
Watching this after the fact, realising all of their praise and song and thoughts and prayers was just that. Nothing happened to the main enablers of this travesty.
When will one of these guys say, "We are going to get these horrible people starting RIGHT NOW." ?
Expect several FBI agents to submit their resignations after this.
But no they need to serve time for covering the of the crime
Chemical castration
Why the prejudice by the Senator ? It is all absurdity by the entire US federal government
These senators for the most part with the exception of a few are condescending, I especially take offense with the females because they SHOULD know better ! They are all in positions of power just like Nassar was , I wonder how much they really understand what this type of abuse and trauma does to your psyche and how crippling it is for the rest of your life
Good job ladies. Sorry this happened!
McKayla's testimony = INCREDIBLE! This level of coverup by the FBI is unconscionable!!
So many Democrats on this hearing…………………We’ll see if anything gets done, resolved, investigated?
Really it was the Republicans that interviewed them under Trump!
@@TheMajesticice01 FBI did, get your facts straight.
Demand:

I pray for the second coming of our Lord and Savior. These sick people of power need to feel the wrath of Christ Jesus.
Buddy, it's been 2000 years. I think it's safe to say that Jesus Christ is not coming.
These poor kids. It's sickening. And our vaunted and trusted FBI drops the ball again. On PURPOSE. I thought we paid them to ensure justice... We really need to clean that house or this will continue to happen.
I apploud all these women for speaking out. However, I wish instead of hearing the commitee just tell them how brave they are I would rather hear them tell these ladies what ther are going to do about it and the actions they will be taking....Talk is cheap, take action!
I met Corey Booker, of all those people in suits pretending to be leaders, he got the closest to speaking truth, BUT still, COREY, I want change. Action. YOUR BRAVERY. come on.
Finally these young ladies are getting the justice they deserve! The people who kept ignoring the abuse are just as much to blame as the perpetrator! If something would’ve been done earlier there would’ve been far less victims! All these young ladies came forward and they kept getting ignored, it shouldn’t be the survivors job to constantly seek the justice that they deserve! The FBI waited 14 months to report their statements of abuse and they fabricated those statements! 14 MONTHS!!! He should’ve been locked up long ago but instead was allowed to sexually abuse more victims! It was their duty to protect these CHILDREN, instead they protected this monster for their own selfish reasons. I am absolutely disgusted with the Olympic Committee, USA gymnastics and the FBI Agents involved for ENABLING this man to continue abusing these CHILDREN!! 🤬🤬
This had to be hard telling about your abuse to a group of old white men.
if they don´t care about children let alone in the olympics-team what do they care about then?
it must be something really low with no niveau at all something sociopaths get off on
Whatever people say about Edgar Hoover, it seems his FBI was not corrupt like today's FBI.
So the senators are basically saying and doing nothing as usual just grandstanding.
Thank you for sharing your stories and all of you are in my prayers and thoughts, but remember that all of you are save protected from all around you because
Ally raisman Simone biles and Mikayla maroney I love you for who you are because you are not alone trust yourself, that all of you deserve better
Now, imagine how many times before this guy haa been reported, officially or unofficially, an e how many times these reports were just IGNORED. Literarly : the soceity needed 500+ CHILDREN to be sexually abused, before to take action. Moreover, all of this exploded only when FAMOUS athlets talked about, so we need to thank the fact they had power, otherwise silence would have been kept.
Blessings to all these young ladies
USA gymnastics Paris France Olympic Games 2024 all the girls who are women that are Simone biles Mikayla maroney and ally raisman are my favorite gymnasts that they are humble resilient strong powerful independent woman who are passionate loyal faithful and
I HATE using the term “stories”. BS it their “truth”. “Story” implies insignificant or exaggeration, or even falsehood. NO! It’s their TRUTH!
Can you imagine if every young woman in this country were as intelligent, courageous and dignified as these? I feel so proud of them as I watch this.
Now these sextual misconduct are in open what are you going to do? My guess is that these politicians will not act to advance the justice. Talk talk talk many pretty words but they never really care enough to do right thing.
