and again, i think we have seen in the indianapolis star case that this is notjust a failure of indianapolis a failure of the indianapolis star case that this is notjust a failure of the coaches are all the governing body, is a collective failure of everybody who has been involved with larry nassar. that is the parents, the fellow athletes, the media who probably had this right under their nose. i think if there is going to be any proper safeguards in sport and in our schools and clubs to stop this sort of thing, we have to encourage and facilitate the reporting of abuse such as we have seen here. facilitate the reporting of abuse such as we have seen herelj facilitate the reporting of abuse such as we have seen here. i think so. such as we have seen here. i think so. and i think thejudge captured that moment when she mentioned some shocking figures that one in ten children will be sexually assaulted by their 18th birthday, which shows the importance of speaking up at these kinds of things. whether people will or not of course remains to be seen. there's no sign that the russia investigation

well, for more, we're joined by mark alesia, a reporter with the investigative team at the indianapolis starhat broke the story about dr. larry nassar's sexual abuse of gymnasts. his team also helped expose usa gymnastics' failure to report allegations of sexual abuse by coaches to authorities. alesia's most recent piece is titled "what's next for usa gymnastics? a long, tough road at best." welcome to democracy now! i think people around the country are just reeling from this story. how is it conceivable that this went on for decades? one dr. and michigan state, clearly, you show goes beyond that, what is -- what is your of how many mothers and their daughters to families had leveled complaints against him as he abused so many, believed at least 160 young women? -- going as far back as 1997, i believe it was, adults toid go to report the abuse, and nothing happened. gymnasts went to police and nothing happened. canasts went to is you state title nine nothing happened. went to the gymnastics coach at michigan state university and nothing happened. said they women who did not think they would

but on the other hand you realize the indianapolis star broke the story.were involved in it was a slow response. i would think she should have known at that point something's wrong here. and with got to protect children. the same thing with the people who are on usa gymnastics. i just think they become blind in terms of pursuing competition to protecting children. >> dana: it's remarkable, kimberly said, how articulate they were. there was a sound bite. poised. they were going through all of this inner turmoil and if they were able to perform and be amazing athletes and students. >> jesse: i don't think usa gymnastics thought of them as athletes. they probably thought of them as gold medal factories. i don't think they saw them as human beings. there is red flags everywhere. this is the biggest sports scandal in history. juan touched on it. i am reading some of this stuff. the doctor never wore gloves. he is walking around not wearing gloves, alone in hotel rooms, he was the first call they were supposed to make at night. he is isolating them in mandatory

she was the first one to speak out afr the indianapolis star investigation. a few of them did speak out. so many more behind them didn't have the courage or felt they weren't believed and that's why they couldn't be more open. they certainly hope that now -- that by holding institutions to account, things will change going forward. this is not just about the world of gymnastics. this is about sports altogether, young, vulnerable people put in compromising positions. they just don't know what to do. host: thank you for joining us. state of now to the the union a dress, which president trump will deliver in .ust a few hours time well as substance, everyone is trying to guess what the tone will be. and of course, the president o won't be ty one giving a speech tonight. joined now by anthony. what kind of tone do you think he is going to strike tonight? i is supposed to be upbeat. last year, we heard a lot of bold promises, things like ructure,are, infra taxe they got taxes, but a lot of the other stuff, immigration, that didn't happen. we may see those rolled ou

the reason larry nassar‘s story came to light was because the indianapolis star did an expose on thef gymnastics, just abhorrent behaviour in handling these allegations. it came out in criminal trials that usag had a policy of literally burying reports of sexual assault against member coaches, putting them in a file cabinet and it came out that they had buried 5a files on coaches accused of sexual assault within a 10—year period. when you see the number of victims coming forward with larry nassar‘s investigation, what you are seeing is a drop in the bucket, and this in terms of a cultural problem at usag. what impact do you think it will have that simone biles has decided to talk about this? i really hope that it will draw attention again to the broader cultural problem. larry is a symptom of the problem. the fact that so many gymnasts have suffered horrific sexual abuse at his hands is because of the policies that usag have, creating an environment where it was safe for predators to prey on little girls and even on their most premier athletes. when you have an organisation that has

he writes for the "indianapolis star." just remind people of the nature of the significance of this reporting. take us back to when it started and how hard it was for you and other journalists to get some hooks into this situation, the obstacles you faced and the resistance to it being true. >> well, in 2016 my colleague marissa kwiatkowski received a tip about a court case in southern georgia where usa gymnastics was being sued by a club level gymnast for negligence. she had been molested by a coach who had been reported years earlier to usa gymnastics in very stark terms. one of the letters said, stop him before he rapes somebody. but they did nothing. as we found in our reporting, they had an official policy not to do anything unless they had a signed complaint from a parent or a signed complaint from an athlete which experts told me is exactly the wrong thing to do. >> because? why is that the wrong thing? why is that an unreasonable expectation? >> because there are any number of other people who might be in a situati

what began as an "indianapolis star" investigation into usa gymnastics abuses in 2016, culminated inymnastics doctor sentenced wednesday for up to 175 years in prison for sexually assaulting over 140 young women. the prosecutor in the case praised the indy star journalist who set the investigation into motion as well as the first woman to make contact with the reporters. >> we as a society need investigative journalists more than ever. what finally started this reckoning and ended this decades-long cycle of abuse was investigative reporting. >> it is the best of times for some journalists, for investigative journalism, shedding light in dark places. at the same time we have to be aware of the darkness that exists, the threats against journalism. we'll be right back after a we'll be right back after a short break. it's inspected by mercedes-benz factory-trained technicians. or it isn't. it's backed by an unlimited mileage warranty, or it isn't. for those who never settle, it's either mercedes-benz certified pre-owned, or it isn't. the mercedes-benz certified pre-owned sales event. now

without that first indianapolis star story in august of 2016, without the story where rachel came forward publicly shortly the thereafter, he would still be practicing medicine, treating athletes and abusing kids. let that sink in for a minute. right now he would be at his office on hague dorn and hannah, not far from this courtroom in the michigan state university campus, abusing children had it not been the investigative reporters and rachel who brought this case. we know federal law enforcement did not stop him nor did trab trainers or coaches or deans or medical supervisors. victim disclosures to adults didn't stop him. reporters began the story and excellent victim centered focused police and prosecutors grabbed the baton and brought us here today. i'm proud of the work of the michigan state university police department and our team at the attorney general's office. there is no more supportive police chief in this country than chief dunlap. and our victims and the public are incredibly lucky to have their case investigated but arguably the best sex crimes detective in the country and
