The Globe & Mail: Judge in Larry Nassar trial sends video of support to Canadian gymnasts
The judge who presided over the trial of Larry Nassar, the disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor convicted of sexually assaulting athletes, says allegations of abuse by Canadian gymnasts must be investigated outside of the sport system.
In a video sent to Canadian gymnasts supporting their call for an independent investigation into alleged problems within their sport, Justice Rosemarie Aquilina said Ottawa must ensure any such probe is handled independently of the sport’s governing body.
