On Tuesday, the victims of Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics team doctor, will speak out in a Michigan court as part of his criminal sentencing. Last week, star collegiate gymnast Maggie Nichols said that she and a coach reported Nassar's abuse to USA Gymnastics officials in 2015. "Contrary to reported accusations, USA Gymnastics never attempted to hide Nassar's misconduct," the group said.

"At that time USA Gymnastics indicated that they were in the process of contacting the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
