After Larry Nassar’s sentencing, it might’ve felt like the story was over. The bad guy went to jail. Survivors were believed. All was well in the world. But real life is so much messier than that. There are no pretty bows to tie up this story. Epilogue: bit.ly/2rPta9D
NPR | The fallout from the Nassar scandal continues. Last month, 13 girls and women notified the FBI they intend to sue over the bureau's failure to follow up on early reports of abuse. bit.ly/3GF12vv

Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Maggie Nichols, and Aly Raisman testified at the hearing, saying they shared their experiences of abuse at the hands of Nassar with FBI agents, and the lack of support and communication that ensued. bit.ly/3nDzyyB

NEW: FBI officials failed to respond to reports of sexual abuse of athletes by ex-gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar with the "urgency that the allegations required," a watchdog report concluded. (@MichiganRadio)

During the period when the allegations were first made to the FBI Indianapolis field office in July 2015 and until September 2016, Nassar was still actively treating athletes. bit.ly/2VKHK4j

One thing that doesn't get a lot of coverage, is how much time and energy survivors put in to working w/ MSU for more than a year to figure all this out. It felt, they've said, like an important battle. But here we are.

Just a reminder that @BelievedPod is an amazing, in-depth look at the Nassar case that is definitely worth listening to.

(AP) - A judge has dismissed criminal charges against former Michigan State University President Lou Anna Simon arising from the Larry Nassar sexual assault scandal. Simon was ordered to trial last year on charges that she lied to police. @MichiganRadio

I always recommend this but NPR's @BelievedPod is one of the most powerful pieces of journalism I've ever experienced. The courage of the women who suffered at the hands of Nassar is astounding and handled delicately by all involved in producing the pod podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcas…

This podcast series hosted by @KateLouiseWells and @lzsmitty offers an unnerving look at how well-meaning adults can dismiss uncomfortable truths, and details how a team of women brought Olympic gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar to justice.

Can’t tell you how hard this is to read and process. The pain is real and doesn’t just go away...especially when new facts are still coming out. What’s it going to take for a complete and independent investigation of both USOPC and USAG???
As USA Gymnastics wrestled with allegations against Larry Nassar, it knew Simone Biles was among the athletes who felt uncomfortable about him. Nobody followed up. wsj.com/articles/usa-gymnast… My story via @WSJSports

@R_Denhollander was the first person to speak on the record about the sexual abuse she suffered under the guise of treatment from disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar. Now, she’s out with a memoir about her life and her advocacy.
