McKayla Maroney Testifies At Hearing On Handling oO Larry Nassar Investigation
This FBI agent and anyone who went along with his decision to do nothing should be in jail in a cell right next to Nassar
What did the guy even do. It's ridiculous. He should be let out of jail immediately.
Nassar killed himself before he was taken into custody.
Wait.... what?
@@randal_gibbons I think you have him mixed up with the other Olympic Gym Coach
@@randal_gibbons They recycled old footage because of a slow news cycle. A common practice.
How is this issue of molestation turn into an argument between the right and left. These girl were molested and NO ONE did anything until they had to. End of story.
And not to be negative...these women deserve justice but nothing will come of this, except that Nassar is now in prison.
@@sillywabbit7989 The four American gymnasts are among the hundreds of women who say they were sexually abused by Nassar, who worked as a doctor for USA Gymnastics from 1978 to 2016. So what about Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, all republicans, but hey don't let your BS partisanship get in the way of your stupidity and ignorance.
Because the Right is evil, they politicize evil so they can protect it.
This isn't politics, this is law enforcement corruption. And that is apolitical. Bless this girl. Its wrong that she went through this.
Because the left allows and supports the abuse of kids.
Everything from "trans children" to abortion or epstien Island.
You can see the damage Nassar did to her in her very being, it's heartbreaking. Good for her for being so brave and fighting to put an end to the reign of terror brought on by this sick man.
Agree with you to a point, but we cannot possibly know when adult survivors are exhibiting behaviors that were caused by the predator. Some healthy or unhealthy behaviors may be the result of trauma, some not. That’s why people don’t want to be seen as “victims” - because it colors all our future thoughts and actions with “oh, that’s why she/he is acting this or that way.” Nobody wants to be reduced to victim status
@@Jack-eo5fn
"we cannot possibly know..."
It's nauseatingly ironic that all your post amounts to is blaming the victim.
People like you shame those who served this country in combat when loud noises make them jumpy.
People like you can make excuses even for child molesters.
Because you, not we, claim that it can't possibly be known.
Wow.
@@eddierayvanlynch6133 Nailed it !
@@eddierayvanlynch6133, I’m sorry but your comment is not logical. The abuse can and should be known. But to judge someone’s public event presentation as exhibiting sexual abuse behaviors seems dismissive. Why do you attack me from such a dark mind? I said that we should not dismiss victims of sexual abuse (or any abuse) by consigning all their thoughts and behaviors to victimization. The original commenter on this thread wrote that this accomplished athlete is exhibiting victim behaviors as she speaks before a national audience. I personally feel that’s dismissive of this remarkable and brave woman. What does that have to do with friends being retraumatized by loud noises?
@@Jack-eo5fn
People like you perpetuate victim shaming.
Projecting that other people have dark minds, especially after claiming there's no way to know, is just backpedaling.
Claiming it's impossible to know is in no way shape, or form, supportive of survivors of abuse.
And OP's observation that Ms. Maroney is in distress, that's called empathy. Empathy that you felt you needed to "correct" in two people.
You're stuck in the victimizing mentality, not us, because the molestation is the problem.
If you want to complain about the damage, specifically how it's perceived, that's your choice.
And there are those of us who demand that child molesters be brought to Justice.
Ms. Maroney is one of those people.
Her name is not victim. Her role is not victim. Her future is not victim. Her legacy is not victim.
If knowing and saying that means you think someone has a dark heart, that's on you.
I cried during this ..as my wife was a assualt victim I understand how ptsd can strike your mental health....my thoughts and prayers for this young lady and her strength to relive this horrendous time in her life...she is a very brave survivor speaking her truth....its quite hard to see that people who should've been there but didnt...could she have a lawsuit against these fbi agents???? I can understand the fbi taking a few weeks to learn the truth from many children but to wait a year doesn't seem right...as a parent we need to be aware that teens need to be protect within the Olympic community and actully I'd like to see those at the highest level at that that were supposed to oversee these children at the time be sued for not listening to these children tales so many people failed these kids....
I’m sorry to hear about you and your wife. Hang in there.
Powerful testimony.
Powerful indeed!
@#not my PEDO Actually I disagree. Now that Nassar is in jail other sports doctors will think twice about any horrid behavior, furthermore, more girls or boys will come forward if that has happened to them or is happening to them right now.
@#not my PEDO Just like any Hollywood Producers like Weinstsein, now no woman goes to a hotel room for an interview. That stopped once Weinstein was arrested.
My heart goes out to this young lady no child deserve anything like this BS. Put this monster behind bars and throw away the key this man doesn't deserve to be a free man
Put that Nassar in population and see how well he does 😆
@@branevans3705 he already was, and was immediately assaulted (rightly so). Unfortunately he was moved elsewhere because of it.
All those FBI agents and their Boss needs to be jailed
James Comey’s FBI
@@stevesmithers9057 well that answers a lot right there 🤔
If she had been the only victim of Nassar he would of got away with it, but instead many more girls had to be violated by that monster.
bruh so more than 100 womens are getting abused and not one of them didn’t think to setup a camera
@@lask6778 they weren’t women then. They were CHILDREN.
This was a catastrophic failure at virtually every level of government and society as a whole. That her experience was neither rare, nor likely the worst of the abuse suffered by so many women and girls, makes her damning testimony even more sickening. This required a level of courage beyond what should ever be necessary for women, or indeed men, to muster in order to be believed.
I don’t understand why, to this day, that women and girls are treated like garbage in the USA. Yet, many in government love to point out how females are treated so poorly in other countries. We are such hypocrites.
Very true. Her experience is not rare. It’s so demoralizing. They should be charged
Prosecute those responsible!
it was Biden approved
I hope you get your Justice and you are very brave too.
When I watched this woman's testimony and all the other former gymnast, I was so furious on how the US Olympic committee covered up this sick man's actions.
This is outrageous that nothing was done to put a stop to this. The agents responsible for burying this need to answer for this.
Very powerful testimony that took a lot of courage. Thank you, Makayla. No one should have to suffer what you endured from your sexual abuser and law enforcement.
Thanks for your testimony
How’s it possible the parents of all these girls never questioned his “examinations”?
Athlete A was pretty good at answering some of those questions. It was unsettling, but superb viewing.
The Democrats covered for Nassar as usual
Predators groom parents as much as they groom their victims.
You must be man to ask that question.
Are you listening? The parents did question the exams and reported their concerns.
I'll never understand why there were not rules for these underage girls to get treatments with a male "Doctor" and not have another person in the room. Shouldn't that be standard procedure? That's crazy...
It is now because of them. US Gymnastics was sadistic, they wouldnt let parents be present in the training farm during training which is when the abuse happened. USGym always told them their presence would interfere with practice that the kids are pushed beyond their limits and couldnt have concerned parents interfering the kid from discovering their potential. And if they didnt agree the kid wouls simply get kicked out of the national team. USGym staff at that time needs to be held accountable just as much and the FBI agents involved.
AMAZING testimony. *Strong woman* These women are so brave, I cannot commend them enough for coming out publically on this horrible issue, especially in this detail.
"He always supported the police with their parasitic and sadistic ways". William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury
Hollywood remains silent on this topic. Stay STRONG McKayla! You are doing this for many victims with no voice!
Hollywood ???
What Hollywood??
I knew straightaway that this comment section would be a nightmare.
Well when the story being related is one of the most horrific tales of exploitation and molestation of helpless, dependent children, a complete and utter nightmare this young woman will have for the rest of her life no doubt, how could the comment section be anything else
@@Frenchblue8 lots of gross comments stating how nassar had good taste and how she shouldn’t have dressed like this in court and how she flaunts her body on social media … awful
Those dirty FBI agents need to go on trial.
You go girl. Stay strong. Keep fighting. I stand with you.
VP Harris, in my opinion, she should nail the FBI who covered this up. They took an oath to uphold the law. Either fulfull the laws, or explain why this administration will not pursue justice.
Salute way to go to have courage
Nasar is gonna be popular in prison. He's not gonna be sitting down too much. Just sayin'.
I said the same. Throw him in population.
pedophiles and rapists were dying so much in jails and prisons that they get their own sections now. They might be predators but unfortunately they are still human beings, so they still have some rights or whatever
Wow. The FBI agents who should be protecting these girls aided in the cover up of the abuse.
I believe Marta and Bella Karoli must be held accountable as well. They allowed this abuse to happen
I’ve had to come forward about emotional manipulation before and it was extremely hard. I can’t imagine the strength it takes to do this. I can’t imagine how lonely she must have felt. She spoke up on this when she was a child. My heart is broken
Putting false statements on a federal form I believe is a crime, if incorrect it should be, other than that those agents should be investigated and charged.
I'm so sorry this happened to her and other young ladies. But I think she has a future as a lawyer or some kind of advocate for victims (assuming she's not already).
Can’t believe the FBI didn’t believe these young women
Wearing the plunging neckline in court Does not help her case ....I know how they think ....needs to be in pigtails
Everyone involved in the cover up, and the lack of inaction which allow Nassar to continue to molest those children need to be prosecuted today.
And people say “why didn’t you report the abuse? I don’t believe you”
Thank you to this incredibly strong young lady. Nassar is behind bars, where he belongs. A few others should be joining him, who covered it up.
I'd like to hear what Gym Jordan has to say about sexual abuse in collegiate athletics. 😅😂🤣
_"I See Nothing. I Hear Nothing. I Know... NO-TING!"_ -Sgt. Schultz- Gym Jordan.
😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Jim Jordan doesnt care about anything. He doesnt care what happened to those young men just like he doesn't care what happens to democracy. He only cares to kiss trumps a*s and stay on his good side( not that trump has a good side)!
@@jiejiegigi4794 They care about money, power and privilege. If they think Trump will get them those things, then they'll follow Trump. If they think somebody else will get them those things, then they'll follow somebody else. Republicans are like primitive monkeys, obsessed with shiny things. They'll debase themselves for shiny things.
jimmy-boy's a pathological LIAR. It's pointless to have a conversation with someone who LIES on a dime.
Horrific
This is why victims don’t speak up. Victims are degraded and made out to be liars. Very power speech.
Bravo
What a brave, strong woman McKayla is - all these women are so incredibly brave to have endured all of this, and still have not let their trauma define them or let it dictate their success in life. It's past time the law started protecting all women from predators like this evil man Nassar.
Jim Jordon on the case?
she is very well spoken. strikingly articulate. god bless her and her pursuit for justice.
Can’t say important or button or written anything with a t in it is difficult for youth these days.
Because she’s reading it doesn’t mean she authored the verbiage
@@dalekohl6233 She survived awful stuff and she was *very* brave for speaking up repeatedly, including here. I don't believe it takes anything away from her accomplishments to point out that, though this her own story, she didn't write this statement all on her own... and there's no reason she should have had to write a statement without input from her lawyers. (If she'd written these words on her own, I assume she'd have had an easier time pronouncing them correctly when reading aloud)
So much courage and determination, it really is horrible what that man was enabled to do. It's just wrong. Abuse, sexual abuse is a crime. It is very harmful for people, trust issues, fear, it's not fair, he abused his power so horribly and no good at all came from this, accept for his own pleasure. No.JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED!!!!
As a police officer, I have worked from time to time, in the past, with the FBI on criminal cases. The majority of "real cops" refer to them, to this day, as The Federal Bureau of Idiots! Most of them have "no clue" how to conduct a criminal investigation. In fact; the vast majority of training videos we watched regarding; officer safety issues, were from FBI agents being killed/injured in the line of duty. Because; they had no clue how to approach dangerous situations. Yet, they sure like to "preen" around like little peacocks, thinking they are superior to real police officers. They are far from it, The Larry Nassar case is but one of the myriad of screw-ups, they perform regularly! That is known as... A FACT!!!
This has been going on since 97 a lot of people are guilty. They were abused and assaulted. It's sick and disgusting. The FBI covered it up. This should show you that the system needs torn down and rebuilt
FBI covered up for Kavanaugh, too.
same FBI chief Wray.
Yeah those guys the agents should be in prison period 🤬🤬🤬
Was gym Jordan involved ?
I have undying admiration for the ladies on the US GYMNASTICS TEAM for their courage and bravery for that part in bringing that animal down.I still think the ladies should impose and if wanted to carry out his sentincing
The audacity of Nassar to blatantly abuse so many high profile athletes over and over, without thinking he would be caught, is astounding.
Where is the woman's right movement at in this one?
This isnt about left vs right but about the powerless who spoke up against the powerful. who then had more then the benefit of the doubt just because of his powerful station. This is going on all over the US where prosecutors 'feel' pressured to let the rich and powerful walk free because they dont want to look like they are 'hunting' someone who had deep pockets and deeper connections. its fear plain and simple fear of retribution by those rich and powerful. what about the fear of the victims the bravery it took to come forward in the first place?!
Brave young woman god bless.
Sometimes victims have to take care of the problems themselves when the system fails them.
1/2 a dozen people need to be in prison with Nassar !!! That POS did not act alone or unknown.
I’m wondering if that’s the reason Makayla was so shaky on her vault final because Larry Nassar, was there rattling her. Knowing what the girls said about him, they said that Makayla had the worse experience. I watched the 2012 Olympics and he was right there at the vault final right next to her. On the sidelines.
I, believe them completely. I'm just wondering how the parents never knew about these encounters with Nassar. Its hard to hide the facts with as many girls as he molested.
Many times, the victims are threatened into not telling their parents.
Dismantle and dissolve the FBI
Even if the man are less emotional than women, how stone cold one could be to act like that? There are no women in that investigation team?
This is just horrible! Horrible horrible man!The whole group where we’re their brain cells !
Mckayla is very brave. The Russian Haox, Hunters Laptop, and now this. What's going on at the FBI and DOJ.
And Jim Jordan did the same thing
Say their names....Say their names.....Say their names!!!
I love how this particular victim makes a voice against these beasts who are exploiting girls for sexual pleasure. Well done.
Shame on the FBI; still an Old Boys Network. A very brave young woman
FBI not doing their job........ color me surprised
Did Maykala get some surgery done to her face?
this puts her smug look at the metal ceremony feel way different now.
Home of the brave.
I admire her courage ,strength, fight, convictions, and her tenacity. She was very eloquent and well organized in her delivery of such an emotional gut-wrenching travesty, But couldnt anyone advise her against the revealing blouse. In that forum there were a lot of senators that are old men who will notice such an outfit and ignore part of her content. Fortunately Nassar got his due and will rot the rest of his so called life in a hole.
1. fight crime 2. maintain peace 3. earn money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a problem caused by a conflict of interest, and she will face more problems of the same sort going forward.
1. fight crime 2 maintain peace 3 earn money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did Blumenthal really stifle a yawn? Seriously??
Is the Matt Gaets or Trump going to be charged after this revelation. Why are they dragging their feet

After this testimony sorry but that's not negligence or a incompetence but pedo cover-up and support.
gross af dang
To borrow from that famous meme, she was not impressed.
What’s with the “oO” some professionalism would be appreciated
Obviously this should read "of".
Some thinking would be appreciated.
No excuses for incompetence please. Correct it.

She is amazing!
Maybe Islam is right about keeping men and women in separate spaces...
What were the parents teaching her if her first instinct wasn't to FREAK-OUT AND MAUL Larry when he decided to insert his fingers where the sun doesn't shine? 😳
You are the problem.
Read what you said again. You are literally blaming her for what Nassar did. Why do individuals stay in abusive relationships for years and years? The victims here and even their parents are groomed and manipulated to a point where things that seem obvious to us are completely obscured to them. Please think about the danger of your victim blaming approach to heartbreaking situations like this.
@@barkingspider33 I figured you'd start harping about "victim blaming" ... But once again, how is a 13-year-old completely oblivious to the fact that some guy like Larry shouldn't be putting his fingers where the sun don't shine? 🤨 That's a legitimate question ... It's truly baffling ... Arrested development of critical thinking ... I played sports and knew if a coach or physical therapist ever thought about doing some pokey-pokey, rubby-rubby that he or she would have a rough day at best 👍
This is horrendous. Is it time to introduce Eunachs into national law enforcement agencies 🤔.
She went heavy on the botox
I'm surprised the republicans don't want to hold a parade for Nassar....He's their kind of guy...
You do understand the FBI that allowed this to happen is and has always been under Democrat control, right?

@@jiejiegigi4794 This has nothing to do with The Greatest President we’ve ever had. President Trump. Question. The FBI has been exposed today. So why are you deflecting the blame to President Trump? Are you involved with this FBI, Democrat, pedophilia organization in some way?
This was terrible. But we have too many dangerous things to do in Congress. It's ridiculous that Congress addresses this right now
I don’t believe that dress was appropriate for court but I guess I’m just old fashion
after she gets this done can she help me get my frisbee off my roof
The White House will say I have confidence in Milley and Nassar.
2:22 YEAHHHHHHHHH BABY
Her Instagram is 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, she likes to show it off....which is kinda confusing considering.
also her dress was showing side boob
Nassar is part of the chosen tribe, no wonder the system will protect him.
Kayla's attorney should have strongly recommended that Kayla not dress in such a way in Congress that might, in part, give insight into Nassar's fixation with her. I am in no way suggesting that Kayla brought it on herself.
Unbelievable - just stop it
These girls weren't suspicious when they had to strip and use the stirrups for a sore throat.
Can somebody say bra?
