On Monday, January 15th, Olympic gold winner Simone Biles added her name to the list of gymnasts that were molested by doctor Larry Nassar. Biles posted a letter on her social media accounts, coming forward about being abused by Nassar. Over 100 victims have come forward regarding Nassar, who faces a weeklong sentencing hearing.
"I too am one of the many survivors that was sexually abused by Larry Nassar," Biles wrote, hashtagging "#metoo" in her Twitter post.
Biles' post is similar to the ones posted by other members of the "Fierce Five" from the 2012 Olympics.

Biles, like many of the victims, are not just addressing Nassar, but also USA Gymnastics.
The organization made him an Olympic doctor and has come under fire for their statements and "victim shaming." They allegedly tried to silence victims, and enabled Nassar.Nassar pled guilty to charges of sexually assaulting seven girls, however, all of his accusers are going to be allowed to speak.
The victims will give their statements in different ways: some will stand and speak directly to Nassar. Others will have an audio recording played, and then others will have their statements read by the prosecutor.The victims range from Olympic athletes to patients who were just excited to be seen by a doctor that worked with said Olympic athletes.
 "I hope I can look him in the eye," Jeanette Antolin said. She's a former national team member who was abused between 1997 and 2000. "I don't want him to feel like he has any more power over me, so I'm going to stay as strong as possible."
Since Biles has posted her statement, tons of support has been sent her way for her bravery and strength.

"For too long I have asked myself, 'Was I too naive? Was it my fault?' I now know the answers to those questions. No. No, it was not my fault," Biles wrote.

The president of USA Gymnastics was fired last year due to the way the Nassar allegations were handled.
