An 18-year-old university athlete has become the first male gymnast to say in a lawsuit that he was abused by convicted pedophile Larry Nassar.
Jacob Moore alleged as part of a joint civil lawsuit that Nassar touched his genitals under the guise of treating his shoulder injury with acupuncture.
The court filing came on the same day an Olympic gold medalist sued the US Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics.
Aly Raisman said her abuse “could have been prevented” by team officials.
Her lawsuit, filed in California, claims that both organisations “put their quest for money and medals above” her safety.
