Nobody should ever be sexually abused!
There's no excuse for it!
Former MSU president Lou Anna Simon has been arraigned in court.
The charge, 2 felonies and misdemeanors counts of lying to police during the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case.
Simon told police that she didn't know about the scandal. It was later revealed that she knew as far back as 2014.
Simon resigned in 2018 and MSU had to set up a 10 million dollar trust fund to reimburse his victims.
MSU also reached a 500 million dollar agreement with his victims. Why did she allow Nassar to pray on the gymnasts?
Nassar, a doctor associated with MSU and USA gymnastics was convicted of sexually abusing many young gymnasts including several Olympic medalists.
Nassar was also convicted of possessing child pornography and was sentenced to several years in prison.
Why wasn't the sexual assault allegations dealt with in the beginning. What does that say about MSU and their athletic programs?
Also why did the US gymnastics program allow him to treat the girls. Why weren't there safe guards in place to prevent this from ever happening? Does it mean that the safety of women doesn't matter to MSU or Team USA?
What happened to the women was horrific, disgusting. Even if Nassar spends the rest of his life in prison, it will never erase what happened to the brave women who came forward. They will eventually heal from it.
Colleges should have programs in place to deal with sexual abuse. They should have better background checks for coaches and staff dealing with women's sports.
They should have stiffer penalties and protocol so that it never happens again.
Maybe sexual violence in college sports can finally be eradicated.
