    I watch this over and over again because Judge Aquilina is so dead-on with every word it is entrancing. I particularly appreciate how she makes him squirm with "because you are guilty, aren't you?" and he can't even say the words because he is still thinking in his deluded brain that he's going to somehow climb back from this and convince people all over again that it was all a misunderstanding, he's a great guy, pillar of the community, etc. Even his statement with his cowardly turn of phrase, sorry for "what has occurred" instead of "what I did", is blatant and laughable evidence that he has not repented in the slightest. Aquilina's commitment to allowing every survivor an opportunity to face down their abuser was the best, most perfect decision I have ever seen come out of the US justice system.

      They got justice concerning Nassar's chapter. Justice doesn't mean reparation, and a lot of victims don't feel any relief after it comes. Especially with murder victims families, and it's so hard because they firmly believe and pray that once justice comes, some of that horrible pain, grief and despair will lift and go away, but it doesn't work like that. And I've watched so many fall apart after, satisfied with getting justice, maybe even happy on some level, but just so devastated that justice didn't take away the unbearable part, didn't even lighten it a little.
      Healing takes time. It effing sucks, I have been there, but you are powerless to that process, and so you sit in it and wait for time, as slow as it goes. But as long as you don't give up in your head, it will come. Maybe months, maybe a year, maybe many years, we're all too unique to know, but it. will. come.

      Parents who never did anything despite their child’s pleas. (I understand children who forgive their parents and I understand those who don’t want to) but parents should always believe their children regarding this stuff.

Anyone who took part in this cover up should also be judged by their peers and court and should not be allowed amongst young, innocent, and at risk young people again. The public should be able to know their names and justice needs to come to pass to all those who had a part in this no matter how small. We need to hang our heads in shame that this monster was allowed near young people who’s lives will forever be affected by this man they innocently trusted.

If you claim she was that way for the victims, all I can say is that you are despicable and a Nassar enabler. If your daughter was a victim of that demon, what would you do? Sit on your hands?

Statistically, most sexual abuse is from someone the victim knows, trust(family, Friend, teacher, Dr etc) the age plays a major part here & the fact that when the survivors DID speak up and tell, they were told it was “medical treatment” & told to keep quite about it!! NOW is the time for everyone to listen when a child, Adult etc comes forward about sexual abuse!! WE have to LISTEN & be proactive!! Please stop blaming the parents and the survivors..........
