He was considered the world's best gymnastics doctor


Many of the survivors stated that they never even realized what he was doing was wrong because he was a doctor. He was highly respected; everyone WANTED to be seen by him. He manipulated everyone. Often kids are told "no one can touch you other than mom, dad, or the doctor". The doctor. He was their doctor, a trusted adult, not a stranger.

He made friends with the victims, played the "good cop" to the coaches' bad cop. He was allowed in hotel rooms alone with these girls.

He is sick. The victims thought they needed to trust him because of his position. Of course in hindsight it is horrific, but no one at the time would have suspected this "highly reputable" doctor.

Heads need to roll at MSU and USA Gymnastics for trying to sweep this under the rug after it was first reported to them.
