Gymnast Jacob Moore is the first male to publicly accuse Nassar of sexual abuse.
Jacob Moore, the first male to publicly accuse former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar of sexual abuse, said he hopes his story encourages other male survivors to come forward.
“I hope he rots in hell,” Moore, 18, said of Nassar on NBC News’ “Today” show on Tuesday.
Nassar has been accused of abusing over 260 young girls and women during decades as team doctor for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University. He’s now serving three concurrent sentences of up to 175 years on child sexual abuse and child pornography charges. Moore became the first male to accuse Nassar in a federal lawsuit filed last week alleging the former doctor molested him in 2016.
