Lindsey trained at Twistars. Was treated at Michigan State University.
She estimates that Nassar performed his “treatment” on her some 600 times …
“But I thought it was a legit medical treatment. … Who was I to question him?”
In September 2016, the MSU women’s gymnastics team was called into an urgent meeting. Lindsey was now 20 and had transferred to MSU on a full scholarship after spending a year at the University of North Carolina. Officials announced that there were allegations against Nassar. “They said we weren’t allowed to tell anybody,” says Lindsey.
I’m waiting on the next GymCastic podcast to get Jessica’s take on the most recent developments in the Nassar case. For the first time he admitted guilt: 3 counts related to child pornography. In return, the plea bargain says prosecutors won’t pursue federal charges alleging sexual abuse of four young women.
He’l be sentenced on Nov. 27 in federal court in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Other court cases against him will continue.
