the doj officer of the inspector general found that the minneapolis fbi failed to respond to larry nassergency that the allegations deserved and required. it was 2015. usa gymnastics went to the fbi field office in indianapolis and told a supervisor in the house that three gymnasts have reported being sexually assaulted by larry nasser. the office is now confirming the fbi did a limited follow-up on these initial allegations of assault by larry nasser. they didn't formally open up an investigation or fully document their activities. additionally indianapolis fbi later said they referred to the case to lansing michigan fbi where so many gymnasts attended fsu, but the report states they did not do that. so for over a year nothing was done on the allegations against larry nasser because the only law enforcement agency that knew about hims with the fbi in indianapolis and they did nothing. and during that year, the report states, more than 70 young athletes were allegedly sexually assaulted by nasser. john manly who is the attorney for so many victims tells me at this point there is actually

and she also comes in as someone who survived the usa gymnastics sexual abuse scandal by dr larry nasserretiring, she was ready to quit. then she said, "no, i'm the last survivor who is still actively competing, and i think it's important for me to be there." she also comes in as spokesperson who had stepped up and talk about social injustice and racial inequality. so she comes in with... you know, she's put herself out there in ways that aren't just athletic. and it became overwhelming. someone asked her today if she felt the weight of the world on her shoulders, and she said, "that" expletive "is heavy." that's where she is right now, she's got six more events she's qualified in, and we'll see if she's able to compete when they start up again on thursday. they have an off day tomorrow. dr norman fried is a clinical psychologist and expert in sports counselling and mental health from columbia university. hejoined me earlier, and i asked what he made of simone biles' comments since withdrawing from the event. extremely proud of missed files for the honesty and the truth that she is expre

the fact that larry nasser will never walk out of prison alive, thanks to the length of his sentence, may reassure more than 200 of his victims. that justice has been served. indeed, that how many girls and women, if the more he molested during his doctor's career under the guise of giving medical treatment, but the older the story gets the more ugly details about others involved in this disgraceful scandal emerge. the man who once was larry nasser, his boss, is now facing criminal sexual charges himself. former michigan state gymnastics coach, cathy clay just learned. she's headed to jail for lying to police and the ness. our investigation, who knew that in july 2021, i'll be reporting on another bombshell. a u. s. department of justice probe has found for more than the year after receiving the 1st complaint. the f. b. i pretty much did nothing to deal with the sex abuse claims against dr. nasser just by the extraordinarily serious nature of the allegations and the possibility that nurses conduct could be continuing senior officials in the indianapolis field office failed to respond

and all the while, larry nasser continued working and continued allegedly abusing more women. absolutely. they should have never told the girls not to talk about it. they should have made sure that the fbi had followed up right away. and if if not, they should have contacted another investigative police department or something. they should have gone to the a.g.'s office. it should never have let it it is sit as long as they d. >> larisa boyce, i appreciate your time this afternoon. >> thank you. >> next, britney spears scores a legal victory in her fight to regain control of her personal and professional life. f her perl and professional life. >>> brit my nears may be turning corner. she was able to choose her own attorney to represent her. and she continued to lash out at her father, jamie spears, telling the court she wanted hum to be investigated for conservatorship abuse. jamie spears' lawyer said that there had been a number of misstatements about the case and there was no basis for him to step down. >> i want to bring in our legal contributor katie fang. how significant

the reason she has not retired is because her continued presence is the only rvivor of larry nasser'sho is still competing continues to put pressure on usa gymnastics. at the same time, that is a lot of pressure when you are 24 years old. on top of that, being a black woman who is the face of our country in these olympics, it is a lot. for her to set these boundaries, which is something we tell women you are not allowed to do, it is a powerful statement. >> simone biles said she did not want to retire because she was the only athlete left who had survived the sexual abuse of larry nasser who is now in prison. you have talked and written so eloquently about being a sexual assault survivor. talk about how difficult it is to navigate going forward. but also the power of saying i'm going to allow myself time to heal. >> it is difficult. it is such an individual thing for everybody. everybody copes in their own ways. to see someone like simone, as a sexual assault survivor myself, not only power through, but take ownership of what was done to her and say that did not define her, and not on

simone biles�*s struggle between larry nasser years ago and the memories of sex abuse then, there ares and burdens of our past. so the answer to your question is first, when you have a hero, take a closer look — they are as normal and human as you are, but also we have to find a way to rise above those memories, those voices inside of us that say "you're not good or capable enough." there so many things we do in the field of psychology to help people recognise the greatness that lies within them. and if simone were to think about how the world is watching, she would crumble. she thinks aboutjust watching, she would crumble. she thinks about just what watching, she would crumble. she thinks aboutjust what her message is, she would shine. my prayer is that on thursday, she'll have had time to think about what she wants to say to the world in her sports, and she'll be able to let everyone know that she's back and overcome the anxiety that was in front of her. now it'sjust the anxiety that was in front of her. now it's just alongside the anxiety that was in front of her. now it'sjust alon

larry nasser sexually abuses her — so she is a sexual assault survivor at this point.our life. you can be a very resilient person, but when you have layer upon layer, what a lot of support psychiatrists are saying that you can be resilient, but saying you need a break right now shows she's also very strong at being able to step back and go, "ok, i can't take any more of this. i've had all this in my life and this is a moment i need to stop and pause." simone biles herself has said... this article describes what that means. gymnasts describe the �*twisties�* as mental block where you can lose your sense of spatial awareness in the air, spin out of control or find yourself unable to land. they can happen to any gymnast even if they've done the same manoeuvre for years. or even if they are one of the greatest of all time, like simone biles. and her admitting that has received a lot of support from fellow gymnasts. emily giambalvo tweeted. .. and dominique moceanu — who was an olympic gold medal gymnast atjust age 14 in 1996 replied... get worse with stress". and here's we
