Gymnastics Abuse Scandal: Moore is first male to accuse Larry Nassar of abuse
[]
We head to the U-S, where a gymnastics scandal involving the doctor of the national team, seems to be growing. Earlier this year Larry Nassar was sentenced to more than 125 years in prison for molesting young female gymnasts, following decades of abuse. Now it seems his victims, were not just women, as Jacob Moore has become the first man to file a lawsuit claiming sexual abuse by Nassar.
The University of Michigan gymnast spoke to reporters during a press conference and recounted his experiences. The 18-year-old, flanked by his lawyers, alleges that when he was a 16-year-old seeking treatment for a shoulder injury, Nassar performed acupuncture on his genitalia and exposed him to a girl in the office who was also a minor. Moore says his decision to come forward came after watching his sister and other women testify earlier this year. He hopes to inspire other male victims of Nassar, if there are any, to not be afraid to come forward.
