�Kids Sacrificed, Abusers Protected� USA Olympic Dr. Pleads Guilty to Massive Child

Rape Scandal

A massive case involving over a hundred women and girls is shining a light on the horrid

sexual abuse and cover-up taking place within the USA Gymnastics program.

For decades children were �sacrificed� and their abusers �protected,� according

to one of the victims.

Now, the man at the center of the depravity has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of

sexual assault this week and faces 25 years in prison.

Larry Nassar, 54, faced charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for molesting several

girls.

Nassar was accused of molesting the girls under the guise of providing treatment and

the staff inside the program was accused of helping him cover it up.

The horrid nightmare that is sexual abuse within the US Olympic gymnastics program was

brought to light last August when former gymnast Rachael Denhollander called for a regime change

within the organization.

Denhollander is one of more than 125 victims, including US Olympic champion and three-time

gold medalist, Aly Raisman, who came forward with evidence of cover-ups and abuse.

As USA Today reported, in a joint interview with USA TODAY Sports and the Associated Press

on Saturday, Raisman said revelations of widespread abuse by longtime team physician Larry Nassar

and the reaction by the governing bodies has colored how she views her sport.

�The people at the very top, that work at the office every single day at USA Gymnastics,

they need to do better,� Raisman said.

�It�s making me sad,� she added.

�I�m here to support my teammates because we got inducted to the Hall of Fame and I�m

here to support the girls who are competing.

I love the Olympics, I love gymnastics, I love the sport.

�But I don�t support how USA Gymnastics is handling everything right now.�

Earlier this month, Raisman revealed that she had been molested in a CBS News 60 Minutes

interview.

She was captain of the teams that won gold medals for the United States at the London

and Rio Olympics in 2012 and 2016.

�I am angry,� Raisman said.

�I�m really upset because I care a lot, when I see these young girls that come up

to me, and they ask for pictures or autographs, whatever it is, every time I look at them,

every time I see them smiling, I just think I just want to create change so that they

never, ever have to go through this.�

�For me, the scariest night of my life happened when I was 15 years old.

I had flown all day and night with the team to get to Tokyo.

He�d given me a sleeping pill for the flight, and the next thing I know, I was all alone

with him in his hotel room getting a �treatment.� I thought I was going to die that night,�

USA Gymnast McKayla Maroney wrote on Twitter before her account was deactivated.

Nassar spent nearly 30 years as an osteopath with the USA Gymnastics program and prior

to pleading guilty to these charges he�s been in prison in Michigan after pleading

guilty to possession of child pornography.

Denhollander and another former gymnast, Jamie Dantzcher, are demanding the leadership of

USA Gymnastics be removed immediately.

�The painful reality is that no one on the board of USAG can be trusted on the issue

of sexual assault,� Denhollander said.

�Culture of abuse at USAG had created institutional dynamics where over and over and over again

predators were protected and the children were sacrificed.�

According to ABC 7, they are asking for USAG Chairman Paul Parilla, Vice Chairman Jay Binder

and Treasurer Bitsy Kelley to be removed.

The gymnasts are not only accusing the leadership of ignoring the suspected abuse, but trying

to cover it up.

�No one from USA Gymnastics has apologized nor accepted any responsibility for Nassar�s

assaults on dozens of USA gymnasts,� Dantzcher said.

The board denies covering up the abuse of over 125 girls, however, the odds of that

many girls all conspiring to form a false case are fairly slim � not to mention all

the cases of abusers who�ve already been sentenced.

In a statement to ABC 7, the USAG said, �We are confident our board officers will continue

to lead us through the coming months while we strengthen our culture that has safe sport

as a top priority throughout our organization.�

�What people don�t realize is that this doctor was a doctor for 29 years,� Raisman.

�Whether or not he did it to a gymnast, they still knew him.

Even if he didn�t do it to you, it�s still the trauma and the anxiety of wondering what

could have happened.

I think that needs to be addressed.

These girls, they should be comfortable going to USA Gymnastics and saying �I need help,

I want therapy.

I need this.��

As TFTP previously reported, what these former victims are exposing is also backed up by

an investigation by the IndyStar which revealed that top executives at one of America�s

most prominent Olympic organizations failed to alert authorities to many allegations of

sexual abuse by coaches � relying on a policy that enabled predators to abuse gymnasts long

after USA Gymnastics had received warnings.

According to the investigation, USA Gymnastics would not disclose the total number of sexual

misconduct allegations it receives each year.

But records show the organization compiled complaint dossiers on more than 50 coaches

and filed them in a drawer in its executive office in Indianapolis.

During a 2013 lawsuit, two former USAG officials admitted under oath to routinely covering

up sexual abuse allegations.

Because of this case, the contents of all the complaint dossiers mentioned above remain

sealed.

The IndyStar is seeking to make them public.

The reality is that USAG officials have been raping and abusing girls for decades and they

were allowed to do so under the cover of the organization.

Only after a handful of the predators became so active in their abuse were they caught

by law enforcement.

One such case, involving William McCabe, revealed how USAG covered for him for nearly a decade

while he preyed on young girls.

Mulitple complaints were swept under the rug as the man preyed on children � despite

one gym owner warning the USAG in 1998 that McCabe �should be locked in a cage before

someone is raped.�

He wasn�t arrested until the mother in the 2013 lawsuit went to the FBI with concerns

over McCabe emailing her then-11-year-old daughter.

As the IndyStar reports, McCabe was charged with molesting gymnasts, secretly videotaping

girls changing clothes and posting their naked pictures on the internet.

He pleaded guilty in 2006 in Savannah, Georgia, to federal charges of sexual exploitation

of children and making false statements.

He is serving a 30-year sentence.

The price of having one of the best gymnastics teams in the world is apparently steep.

Shelley Haymaker, an Indiana attorney who represents abuse victims in child welfare

cases, said USA Gymnastics� approach �sickens� her, according to the IndyStar.

�USAG may not have been the hand that ultimately abused these innocent children,� Haymaker

said, �but it was definitely the arm.�

RISE AGAINST visiting FC ST. PAULI - November 2017 - Duration: 2:51.

So, the experience today was really cool.

We were playing a show here in Hamburg and St. Paul invited us to their stadium.

After doing our recent merch collaboration we wanted to come see the place where all the magic happens.

We got to see the museum, learn about the history, got to go on the field,

see the murals, see the the signs and the seats and all of that.

It really it made you realize this is a different kind of football club.

St. Pauli is a team that I feel like our German fans introduced us to.

I feel like, when we were playing shows here in Germany I would see the t-shirts,

and we were wondering what this team was and why there's so many punk rock kids

that were identifying with this team. And as we learned about it we learned that

the team is so much different than any other sports team in that the politics

of the team, and the left-leaning politics of the team is something that

the fans are embraced the team is embraced and it's become kind of like a symbol.

More than just a football club but really a symbol for progress and hope and tolerance.

So, with a band like Rise Against, what we've done is we've taken music and

we've taken ideas of change and awareness and kind of put them together

in hopes that they reach people. And I think music is a great vehicle for that.

Music is a great way to reach people: it's powerful and it's effective.

And I think that in the sports world, too - harnessed in the right way -

you can reach a lot of people with a lot of really great ideas.

Sports don't need to be apolitical.

And so I feel like collaborating with FC St. Pauli we were able to point that out.

Point out that music or sports - it doesn't matter.

These are all different avenues to ideas

and challenging preconceptions and taking a stand.

The lyric on the back of the t-shirt comes from one of our songs.

And I feel like it really sums up what it means to overcome a challenge.

Whether that's a sports challenge or a political challenge.

So when it all comes down will you say you did everything you could.

You know, that's the question that you want to be able to answer at the end of all of this.

This is: did you give it your best effort? Did you really try?

Or did you sit on the sidelines?

Am I Even AMERICAN?! || miLAno - Duration: 4:16.

Hi everyone, welcome to miLAno!

So, recently, a lot of people have been

telling me that I don't seem American! First of all, someone told me that I seemed

like I was from the center of England because I "don't look American." I don't

know how it looks to "look American," like my hair? Or my face? My style? I don't know.

I really don't know... so can you comment below and say what you think Americans

look like? Also, sometimes people say that I don't have an American accent, which

really boggles me because, even though there are regional accents (for

example: New York accent, Philadelphia accent, Boston accent, Midwest

accent, California accent, southern accent, western accent), I have the

standard American accent, I think. When you listen to a newscaster or a TV

show and you listen to what the actors say and how they say it, I think that I

have the same accent as them. So, if I don't "seem American" and I don't have an

"American accent," then what accent do I have?! Also, the

other day, I went to get a burger from the food truck at my school, and they

said, "Ciao Bella, di dove sei?" which means "Hi, Beautiful,

where are you from?" Creepy, I know. And I was like... I kinda didn't actually respond because I was

kinda creeped out. I just pretended I didn't hear them or understand them. And they were

like, "Oh, are you Russian?" and I was like "WHAT?" I knew I wasn't paying

attention at first, but then I really had to know why they thought it was Russian.

I was like, "Me? Russian?" And they were like, "Yeah, are you Russian?" and I was like, "No... maybe Russian (rushin')

to get these burgers, but that's about it!"

I didn't say that, but I really should have!

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have...

Also, on Sunday, I met a youtuber from Milan, and she's

American, and she's been here for about a year, I believe, without going back to

America. When I went to her meetup, I introduced myself. About maybe ten

minutes later, she was like, "So, where are you from?"

There were other people around me too, but she just asked me

particularly because I guess I was asking more questions than everyone else. I said,

"Oh, I'm from America." and she was like, "Really?! You're from America?" and I was like, "Yeah!"

and she was like, "Your accent does not sound American."

I was like, "What accent is it if it's not American?! I'm so confused!" And then she was like, "Okay, now I kind of see

it," and I was like, " What do I seem like?" and then one of the other girls in

the circle was like, "I think you seem kind of Russian." WHATTT

How am I Russian?! Please, someone, if you think that I'm Russian, please comment below how you

think I'm Russian! Please! This is perhaps my favorite part of this video: in the

last video I made about homesickness, I recommended ways not to be homesick,

I don't know what was different about my eyes,

but someone commented that they thought I was either Hispanic, Native

American, or Asian because of my "beautiful eyes"... WHATTTT

Can you let me know? My eyes: do they seem like, in any way, any of those things? WHATTT

I just want to know; I'm just so curious, so basically, please just... the conclusion of

this video... it really is a pointless video, but I just want to know: personally,

do you think that I am American? Do I seem American? Do I look American? Do I

sound American? Do I act American? Also, what does it mean to look, sound, act, or

seem American? There are so many things we could discuss about this, so

please, comment below what you think. I'm really curious to know your answer, so

anyways, thanks for watching! Also, this video is dedicated to Thanksgiving.

God bless America. See you next Monday, ciao!

Technically, the answer is: no, I'm not American, because only Native Americans are American.

Just kidding; I'm Irish, Scottish, English, French, and German, so, I mean, I'm those things,

and I've always lived in America, so I consider myself American.

And I think that I speak, act, look, and seem American, but I guess not everyone agrees...
