Minors are always the number one victims of sexual assault, and even the Olympic champions who won glory for the country have not escaped the clutches of the devil!
In 2016, a sports scandal in the United States and the world's largest was exposed.
More victims than anyone could have imagined, with more than 500 gymnastic girls, including several Olympic champions.
What is even more shocking is that this evil act lasted for 30 years.
How did the prisoners stay safe and sound during these 30 years?
To the United States, which prides itself on human rights, such a bad incident has occurred in the sports world, why do high-level officials and gymnastics associations keep silent about it and repeatedly shield criminals?
A gymnastic girl in hell
"I sleep when I break down, because that's the closest way to death."
It's hard to imagine that this sentence comes from the mouth of the "black pearl" of the American gymnastics world, the four-time gold king of the Rio Olympics.
An American gymnastics queen who is also a victim of sexual assault.
As a teenager, she, including many of her teammates, was abused by Larry Nassar.
Who is Larry Nassar?
He is an associate professor of medicine at Michigan State University and a team physician for the USA Gymnastics team.
On the surface, it looks gentle, but in fact it is a full-fledged beast!
He hides in the gymnastics team, taking advantage of his position to extend his evil hand to one ignorant and simple girl after another to satisfy his dirty soul.
Most of their victims were underage girls, the youngest of whom was only 9 years old.
These girls are ignorant and sensitive ages, and Larry Nassar handles these weaknesses well.
Wolf in sheep's clothing
Larry Nassar is an extremely good disguised person.
Many colleagues and even the athlete's parents trusted him as a "great man".
After he was accused of sexual assault, many people supported him.
But as everyone knows, all this is just a disguise for Larry Nassar.
In front of the ignorant and simple gymnastics girl, he will disguise himself as a confidant uncle.
Being away from home, intense training and injuries can make young girls feel lonely and lost, and Nassar handles these weaknesses well.
He cares about the health of young girls, listens to their troubles, gives them candy and mobile phones in private, and easily wins the trust of young girls.
Taking advantage of this trust, he approached the girl step by step, and finally extended his magic hand and used his various positions to commit abuse.
In the name of medical consultation, they are dealt with by their hands.
A set of obscene treatments was also invented, using the hands directly into the girl's intimate places.
When the girls felt something was wrong, Nassar would use his identity as a team doctor to say something that seemed professional: "There is a pressure release point inside, and when you let go, your ankle won't hurt so much." ”
Naive girls think this is part of the treatment.
This is why minors are the number one victim of sexual assault, because it is sometimes difficult for them to realize that they are being abused.
Some people may feel wrong, but because of shame or the deliberate PUA of adults, they often choose to be silent.
An umbrella hidden behind demons
After 30 years of carrying out evil deeds unharmed, the umbrella behind Larry Nassar "contributed".
Over the years, Larry's behavior has not been completely unknown, on the contrary, he has been reported and accused many times.
But these accusations were all suppressed without exception, and finally fell into the sea, and the cover behind the USA Gymnastics Association is self-evident.
Back in 1997, 16-year-old gymnast Larry reported Larry to her coach that he had put his hand into his body.
But the coach's attitude made Lerui chill.
At first, it was a cover-up, "Definitely you're mistaken, I've known Larry for years, and he can't think differently." “
Later, he directly said, "You can report it, but both you and Larry will pay a terrible price." “
This is almost a naked threat, and in the face of power, Lerui can only submit.
At the university where Larry worked, there were more than a dozen accusations against him, but none of them were heeded.
Even the investigation was hastily, and even more absurdly, the witnesses to the investigation were colleagues and friends invited by Larry himself.
In this way, the results of the survey can be imagined.
It can be said that from the coaches, to the school, to the USA Gymnastics team, no institution has taken these girls' allegations seriously.
A coach reported Larry to USA Gymnastics, but it took the gymnastics team a full five weeks to report her report to the Bureau of Investigation.
The attitude of the Investigation Bureau, of course, is also inappropriate, and it did not seriously investigate at all.
Why doesn't anyone from top to bottom pay attention to these girls' accusations and blindly shield Larry?
On the one hand, Larry's professional level is indeed very high, under his medical management, the performance of the US gymnastics team is very good, once ranked among the top in the world, and he is very obedient to the coach and is very valued.
On the other hand, to put it bluntly, in their eyes, these girls are just tools to win competitions, and their physical and mental health is not worth mentioning at all.
It can be said that behind Larry, the entire top-down system is an accomplice.
Belated justice
In 2016, inspired by the "Me Too" movement, a girl named Rachel stepped forward.
She approached reporters and publicly accused Larry of assaulting her when she was 15.
Rachel said that since she was 15, Larry has repeatedly sexually harassed her in the name of therapy, and she reported it to the gymnastics team but was ignored.
Because Rachel's brave voice inspired many girls who had been abused by Larry, they were no longer silent, but boldly opened their wounds, just to bring Larry to justice.
Slowly, more and more girls came forward to accuse Larry, and the number reached hundreds.
With the uncontrollable public opinion, the relevant departments officially launched an investigation into Larry.
Eventually, they found more than 30,000 indecent photos of children on Larry's computer, and this time, Larry was finally arrested and imprisoned.
Two years later, Larry's trial began, and the number of victims present in court increased from six to 156, tearing their wounds in the courtroom, one by one.
Jotine Webb, a member of the London 2012 women's team champion, said: "The hardest thing I've done so far has been preparing for the Olympics, and the hardest thing I've ever experienced was the aggression of Larry Nassar. ”
Two-time Olympic gold medalist McKela Maroney said: "I have an Olympic dream, and in order to achieve that dream, I have to endure unnecessary and disgusting things. ”
Gymnastics Olympic medallist Jamie Denzel said: "I had public encounters, but people didn't believe me, including my friends. They called me a liar and a prostitute, accusing me of making up outrageous lies to get attention. “
Behind every testimony is a lifetime of pain.
In the face of these accusations, Larry has always insisted on his innocence.
He shows how a person is cold, shameless, hypocritical.
In court, he wrote pleading letters to the judge and splashed all the dirty water on the victim.
In court, he tried to play a confessor, weeping bitterly that he would atone for his sins.
Such a vigorous performance almost blinded the jury, but fortunately, Judge Aquilina's eyes were bright, and she had long seen that he was a duplicitous person who did not know how to repent.
Based on solid evidence, the court eventually sentenced Larry Nassar to 175 years in prison.
In the face of Larry's crocodile's tears, Judge Aquilina only said coldly: "You only deserve to stay within the walls, you cannot control your evil desires, wherever you go, you will cause destruction to vulnerable and innocent people, your crimes are carefully planned, despicable and insidious."
Such a verdict seems to be very happy, and the devil is finally brought to justice.
But for those girls, this just trial was 30 years late.
The pain and hurt they have endured over the years cannot be eliminated with the trial.
What is even more desperate is that such events are still happening, not just in the United States, not just in sports.
