Four top level gymnasts delivered emotional testimony on Capitol Hill Wednesday detailing years of sexual abuse by former team doctor Larry Nassar.
Their testimony laid out years of inaction from the FBI after the abuse was initially reported.
The gymnasts say they were not only hurt by Nassar but also by the system that was supposed to protect them.
McKayla Maroney’s case was one of the first to be referred to the FBI.
She shared graphic details of her abuse an agent in 2015. Maroney said she was met with indifference and inaction.
The Justice Department’s inspector general released a report that said FBI agents failed to act with urgency and even lied to cover up their incompetence.
The report found that an additional 70 athletes were abused before a formal probe was opened.
