MARONEY This was very ░░░░░░░░ cookie cutter pedophilia and ░░░░░░░░ and this is important ░░░░░░░░ I told the FBI ░░░░░░░░ of this and they ░░░░░░░░ to falsify my report ░░░░░░░░ not only minimize my ░░░░░░░░ but silence me yet ░░░░░░░░ I thought given the ░░░░░░░░ of the situation they ░░░░░░░░ act quickly for the ░░░░░░░░ of protecting other girls ░░░░░░░░ instead it took them ░░░░░░░░ months to report anything ░░░░░░░░ Larry Nassar in my ░░░░░░░░ should have been in ░░░░░░░░ that day The FBI ░░░░░░░░ S O C and ░░░░░░░░ S A G set ░░░░░░░░ by as dozens of ░░░░░░░░ continued to be molested ░░░░░░░░ Larry Nassar According to ░░░░░░░░ OIG report about 14 ░░░░░░░░ after I disclosed my ░░░░░░░░ to the FBI nearly ░░░░░░░░ year and a half ░░░░░░░░ the FBI agent who ░░░░░░░░ me in 2015 decided ░░░░░░░░ write down my statement ░░░░░░░░ statement that the OIG ░░░░░░░░ determined to be materially ░░░░░░░░ Let s be honest ░░░░░░░░ not taking immediate action ░░░░░░░░ my report they allowed ░░░░░░░░ child molester to go ░░░░░░░░ for more than a ░░░░░░░░ And this inaction directly ░░░░░░░░ Nassar s abuse to ░░░░░░░░ What is the point ░░░░░░░░ reporting abuse if our ░░░░░░░░ FBI agents are going ░░░░░░░░ take it upon themselves ░░░░░░░░ bury that report in ░░░░░░░░ drawer They had legal ░░░░░░░░ evidence of child abuse ░░░░░░░░ did nothing If they ░░░░░░░░ not going to protect ░░░░░░░░ I want to know ░░░░░░░░ are they trying to ░░░░░░░░ What s even more ░░░░░░░░ to me is that ░░░░░░░░ know that these FBI ░░░░░░░░ have committed an obvious ░░░░░░░░ They falsified my statement ░░░░░░░░ that is illegal in ░░░░░░░░ Yet no recourse has ░░░░░░░░ taken against them The ░░░░░░░░ of Justice refused to ░░░░░░░░ these individuals Why Deputy ░░░░░░░░ General Lisa Monaco couldn ░░░░░░░░ even bring herself to ░░░░░░░░ here today And it ░░░░░░░░ the Department of Justice ░░░░░░░░ job to hold them ░░░░░░░░ I am tired of ░░░░░░░░ for people to do ░░░░░░░░ right thing because my ░░░░░░░░ was enough and we ░░░░░░░░ justice These individuals clearly ░░░░░░░░ policies and were negligent ░░░░░░░░ executing their duties and ░░░░░░░░ doing so more girls ░░░░░░░░ abused by Larry Nassar ░░░░░░░░ over a year To ░░░░░░░░ indict these agents is ░░░░░░░░ disservice to me and ░░░░░░░░ teammates it is a ░░░░░░░░ to the system which ░░░░░░░░ built to protect all ░░░░░░░░ us from abuse It ░░░░░░░░ a disservice to every ░░░░░░░░ who suffered needlessly at ░░░░░░░░ hands of Larry Nassar ░░░░░░░░ I spoke up Why ░░░░░░░░ public servants whose job ░░░░░░░░ is to protect getting ░░░░░░░░ with this This is ░░░░░░░░ justice Enough is enough ░░░░░░░░ I ask you all ░░░░░░░░ hear my voice I ░░░░░░░░ you please do all ░░░░░░░░ is in your power ░░░░░░░░ ensure that these individuals ░░░░░░░░ held responsible and accountable ░░░░░░░░ ignoring my initial report ░░░░░░░░ lying about my initial ░░░░░░░░ and for covering up ░░░░░░░░ child molester In closing ░░░░░░░░ would like to express ░░░░░░░░ deep gratitude to the ░░░░░░░░ States Senate a very ░░░░░░░░ institution that from the ░░░░░░░░ beginning has fought for ░░░░░░░░ rather than against us ░░░░░░░░ you and I welcome ░░░░░░░░ questions DURBIN Thank you ░░░░░░░░ Maroney.”
