This pig is facing 7 charges as well as charges related to child pornography.
McKayla Maroney paid to keep quiet about abuse, lawsuit says - CNN
Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast McKayla Maroney alleges in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Wednesday that USA Gymnastics paid her to be quiet about abuse by the team's longtime doctor Larry Nassar.
The lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court also names as defendants Michigan State University, the US Olympic Committee and Nassar, the former team doctor who has admitted sexually abusing underage girls.
MSU spokesman Jason Cody said the university does not comment on ongoing litigation. CNN is seeking comment from an attorney for Nassar and from the US Olympic Committee.
In a statement, USA Gymnastics said it learned about the suit from media reports and that "the concept of confidentiality was initiated by McKayla's attorney, not USA Gymnastics."
Ex-USA Gymnastics doctor sentenced to 60 years
USA Gymnastics said Maroney's attorney at the time, Gloria Allred, approached the organization about a confidential mediation process.
