Aly Raisman: ‘All We Needed Was One Adult To Do the Right Thing’
EXCERPT:
RAISMAN: “I can’t tell you the -- how horrifying it is to meet young girls who look up to me, who watched me compete in the Olympics and tell me that they went to see Nassar because of me and my teammates, because they wanted to see the Olympic doctor. And I guess in his office, Nassar’s office, he had some photos of us. And so they went to see him because they thought it was so cool to have the same doctor as us. And so it's -- that’s been one of the hardest and most devastating parts for me, as so many survivors suffer with guilt and shame. And so it's take -- it takes everything I have to work on not taking the blame for that, because it is — it’s horrific. And I -- it’s horrible to meet them and to know that over 100 victims could have been spared the abuse, if all we needed was one adult to do the right thing.”
