WASHINGTON — The organizations that should have protected young female gymnasts from sexual abuse by former Olympic gymnastics team, including the U.S. Olympic Committee and the FBI,"fundamentally failed" to do so for years, according to a new congressional report.
"The Olympic-related organizations' ability to identify and prevent abuse was inadequate," the report said."As a result, hundreds of women and girls were sexually abused by Larry Nassar." "We admire the survivors' courage and strength in sharing their stories, and our goal is to do everything we can to prevent the opportunity for it to happen again.", the U.S. Olympic Committee acknowledged institutional failures and said it was implementing reforms.

The senators are introducing the bill Tuesday, the Empowering Olympic and Amateur Athletes Act, that would increase oversight and improve protections for athletes from sexual abuse.Nassar, who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing 10 minors in Michigan court in January 2018, is serving a prison sentence of up to 175 years and is expected to be behind bars for the rest of his life.
