3:45 am
not guilty to the charges against him in michigan. in a statement from his lawyers he has defended his treatment as legitimate. there is a rare therapy for back and hip pain where specialists massage areas inside the vagina. but for a minor it's expected such a procedure should involve a chaperone and use of a glove. >> did he use a glove? >> no. >> reporter: and how many times did you have this kind of a procedure? >> i mean, it would happen all the way to the olympics in sydney. i was 18. >> reporter: from the time you were around 13 or so until 18? >> yes. >> reporter: and it was just in your mind normal medical treatment? >> you've got a 52-year-old man placing his hand in the vagina of 9-year-olds ungloved for no good reason. wrong. >> reporter: california attorney john manley represents the women we interviewed and more than 40 others. one as young as 9 years old and most under 18 at the time they

3:47 am
karolyis. he's not arguing they knew anything about sexual abuse. many years went by before the women we interviewed complained to anyone in authority. but part of the reason for that, manley argues, was a high-pressure, emotionally abusive environment at the ranch which he says made it easy for nassar to win the girls' trust. >> i mean, the yelling and screaming, that was like normal. >> really? >> yeah. >> reporter: what kind of abusive things were said to you? >> it was never good enough. you're not good enough. >> the pressure that they put on you to be perfection for them, it was very overwhelming and stressful. >> it was an environment of fear. and he stepped in and became the good guy. >> reporter: dr. nassar. >> dr. nassar did. he gave them candy. he gave them encouragement. he acted like he cared about them. no one else there gave that
3:48 am
impression. >> reporter: what were these girls so afraid of? >> not being able to fulfill their dream. i mean, you've given up your childhood and you've given up your adolescence to represent your country. and the karolyis and the selection team who were there have control on who goes. so your fate is in their hands. you must do what they say. >> reporter: on behalf of the women, attorney manley is suing the karolyis and usa gymnastics for failing to protect their athletes. usa gymnastics president steve penny declined to speak with us on camera about dr. nassar. in a statement the organization said it is appalled "that anyone would exploit a young athlete or child in this manner." usa gymnastics "first learned of an athlete's concern about dr. nassar in june 2015," the statement said. "five weeks later after an internal review, it reported him to the fbi and relieved him of any further assignments." usa gymnastics told us it has long had a policy that adult staff should avoid being alone with a minor.

>> how often were you alone with him? >> most of the time. >> reporter: just in the treatment area or also in your bedroom? >> in our cabins. they were like cabins. yeah. >> reporter: that's like your bedroom. >> yeah. mm-hmm. >> reporter: did the karolyis know that dr. nassar was alone with you for these treatments? >> yeah. >> reporter: how do you know that? >> they had to know. i mean, there was no one else with him. and that's the thing too. to think like -- in the bed? the treatment was in the bed. in my bed that i slept on. at the ranch. >> reporter: bela and marta karolyi declined to give us an interview. but in a statement they said they were never aware that nassar was performing this procedure or visiting athletes in their rooms without supervision. they also denied that there was an emotionally abusive

3:53 am
its sting is excruciating. its venom can kill. not much here to love. unless you're dr. jim olsen. this sounds terrifying. >> it's actually beautiful. >> reporter: beautiful because the death stalker's venom may revolutionize how cancer surgery is done. dr. olsen is a brain cancer physician and researcher at fred hutchinson cancer center in seattle, washington. >> we were inspired by a 16-year-old girl who had a brain tumor. after 12 hours of surgery the surgeons left behind a big piece, and we decided that day to find a way to make the cancer light up so that surgeons could see it while they're operating. >> reporter: the key is the scorpion venom, synthetically reproduced minus the poison. when injected into a patient's bloodstream it sticks to cancer cells but not to normal cells. combine that sticky molecule with fluorescent dye and you've got what olsen calls tumor paint.
3:54 am
what problem does tumor paint solve? >> sometimes it's really hard for surgeons to tell what is cancer and what is normal. and in the brain you can't take out a big chunk of normal just to make sure you got the cancer. and tumor paint distinguishes clearly the difference between brain cancer and normal brain in all of our experiments we've done so far. >> reporter: check out this >> tell me, did they get enough margin here? >> i couldn't even tell you -- >> where's the tumor? >> where is the tumor there? >> reporter: but inject tumor paint and there's no mistaking the tumor lights up. this is definitive. i can see why you're excited about this. >> i'm thrilled about this. >> you're sort of turning nature upside down, right? >> that's exactly what we're doing. >> reporter: sounds a lot like science fiction. but olsen says it could be an fda-approved reality as soon as 2019.

>> i think this will potentially be the biggest improvement in cancer surgery m just to see their faces in the morning when i wake them up. the first thing you think about is your wife and your kids and your family. so i had surgery locally, and it came back after my follow up that i needed a second surgery. and that's when i said i need a second opinion. everyone, from the moment i walked through the doors, they're smiling and i love the fact that included me in the whole process.
