‘Money and medals over safety’: Nassar judge warns gymnasts are still being failed

Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who sentenced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar to up to 175 years in prison in 2018 for sexually abusing more than 250 women and girls, has spoken out against the lack of meaningful reform in the decade since his crimes were exposed. Her comments came as survivors gathered at the World Gymnastics Championships to call for systemic change. Aquilina urged that human rights must be prioritised over the pursuit of medals and sporting success.
