Olympian Aly Raisman says that an FBI agent tried to downplay the sexual abuse she faced from former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.
"The FBI made me feel like my abuse didn't count, and it wasn't a big deal," she said while speaking in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.
She testified alongside gymnasts Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, and Maggie Nichols as part of a hearing about the FBI's failings in the Nassar case.
In her opening statements, she said it "disgusts" her that she and other gymnasts are still seeking accountability in the case, and criticized the FBI, USA Gymnastics, and the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee for allowing Nassar to serve as a doctor despite reports of abuse.
"It was like serving innocent children up to a pedophile on a silver platter," she said.
