The US Olympic Committee may have known about his crimes as far back as 2015
A bipartisan group of Senators has called for an investigation into the US Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics after former team doctor Larry Nasser was convicted of several counts of sex abuse.
A special committee is set to be established to carry out the investigation after allegations from young and aspiring athletes that the groups knew about the abuse but ignored it.
Senator Joni Ernst said the time has come to “put an end to this type of outrageous abuse” and “stand up for athletes.”
