But zac said he never pulled the trigger. No maam. Years later, the family learned the rifle had a trigger defect. Has remington ever admitted wrongdoing . Never.

Whitaker in thursdays press conference, President Trump would not say how the United States will respond to the actions of north koreas dictator over the last week. Kim jongun tested a new type of missile. Then his estranged brother was poisoned in a malaysian airport. South koreas spy agency believes kim ordered the hit. Kim has Nuclear Weapons and has promised to test an intercontinental ballistic missile. Such a weapon could eventually carry a Nuclear Warhead and threaten american cities. That possibility, and the missiles he has aimed at south korea are so dangerous, u. S. Defense secretary james mattis went to seoul on his first foreign trip. We went just days later and saw how tense the situation has become. We got two important perspectives. We spoke to the commander of the 28,000 american troops there, as well as the highest ranking north korean to defect in decades. He told us the missiles and murders are part of kims raging obsession with the survival of his regime. Thae yongho ive been in seoul for six months, and to be honest, i was never public until now. Whitaker we went for an evening out in seoul with thae yongho. He was north Koreas Deputy ambassador in london before he defected in august. A defection by someone of his rank is extremely rare. This was the first time he had walked about in public. Just off camera, six bodyguards watched his every move, as we made our way down one of the busiest shopping streets in asia. North korea has assassinated defectors in seoul. Thae yongho in order to prevent more possible defections from north korea i think kim jongun will do anything. Whitaker even kill you . Thae yongho of course. Why not . Whitaker the man who could order an assassination is kim jongun. The dictator is the third member of the kim family to rule north korea. They have controlled the impoverished country with an ironclad fist for 70 years. This was last weeks missile test. Countrys economy to weapons like this, and his million man army, despite widespread food shortages. Thae yongho kim jongun strongly believes that once he possesses i. C. B. M. , then he can easily scare off america. Whitaker right now, how dangerous is north korea to the stability of south korea and as a threat to the United States . Thae yongho kim jonguns capability to wreak harm, not only to america but also to south korea and the world, should not be underestimated. Whitaker during his five years in power, kim jongun has expanded north Koreas Nuclear arsenal, despite International Sanctions that have brought his countrys economy to its knees. Electricity is scarce. From space, north korea is a black hole. Thats it, wedged between the shining lights of south korea, and china to the north. Thae said he was living a comfortable life here at the north Korean Embassy in london before he fled with his wife and two grown sons. His job in london was to spread north korean propaganda, and report back on his colleagues. You all live together under one roof . Thae yongho yes. Whitaker so you could keep an eye on each other . Thae yongho keep an eye on each other, control each other, and even spy on each other. Whitaker but thae said he lost all faith in the regime when kim jongun killed his own uncle in 2013, and executed dozens of perceived enemies, including diplomats. I have seen tape of you thae yongho yes. Whitaker giving speeches in london. Youre very convincing. You seem to be a true believer yourself. Thae yongho if i show any sign of hesitation, then i would be, you know, sent to whitaker what would happen to you . Thae yongho i would be sent to prison camps. So my whole familys life will be jeopardized. Whitaker thae said there was one big obstacle to his defection. Thae yongho all north korean diplomats are forced to leave one of their children back in pyongyang as a hostage. Whitaker as a hostage . Thae yongho yes. Whitaker his break came when that policy unexpectedly changed, and thaes oldest son was allowed to join the family in london. They all agreed to defect. He would not give us the details of his escape and who helped, but we know he was kept in a safe house by south korean intelligence agents and questioned for more than three months. He said it was too dangerous for us to meet his family. Now, ive been talking to you for a couple of days now. You come from a secretive place. Thae yongho yes. Whitaker but i think you still have lots of secrets. Thae yongho sure. Yes. Whitaker how do we know that what he is telling us is the truth, not just selfserving . Chung min lee you know, when a defector makes a decision to jump ship, he is doing it at a huge cost, his coworkers or relatives, inlaws will be purged or killed. Whitaker chung min lee was south koreas ambassador for National Security until last year. He said looks here can be deceiving. The risk of war today is exceptionally high. I think most americans right now would see this as a holdover from the cold war. But it seems to be quite hot when youre here. Chung min lee thats right. This is the only place on the entire planet where you have nearly a million forces on both sides standing, ready to fight a war in basically a nanosecond. And who is there right in the middle of this . Its basically the u. S. Forces. Whitaker lee helped shape seouls policy toward north korea. He went with us to panmunjom, the village in the two and a half mile wide Demilitarized Zone that separates north and south korea. As we got closer, seouls sprawl gave way to military check points. The agreement that suspended the korean war was signed here. But theres still no peace treaty. The war began when the communist north invaded in 1950. 34,000 americans were killed in what amounted to a stalemate. Chung min lee so this is the longest war on paper since world war ii. So we are still technically in a state of war. Whitaker today both sides still stare each other down. Thats north korea right there, that building just 100 yards away. We were told to avoid sudden movements that could be interpreted as threatening. It wasnt long before north korean soldiers took an interest in all the activity. So we went inside a negotiation hut that straddles the border. What is right behind the door . Chung min lee right behind the door is, basically from there this is north korea. Once you go out, thats it. We have no jurisdiction on that side of the door. Whitaker so if i were to walk out that door . Chung min lee thats it. Whitaker im in the hands of north korea . Chung min lee thats true. Whitaker lets stay on this side. It was all surreal. This part of the d. M. Z. Closest to seoul had the feel of a cold war theme park complete with a fake village on the north korean side built to impress the south. And in case you missed the point, loudspeakers blared propaganda marshal songs praising kim jongun. A few miles away, tourists crowded an observation deck, snapping photos with troops, cardboard cutouts, and the real ones. What the visitors could not see on the other side of those mountains are 10,000 artillery pieces the north Korean Military has aimed at seoul. All of which could reach the 28 Million People in and around the south korean capital. U. S. War planners estimate 500,000 people could be killed in a second korean war. Is there any other metropolitan area on earth this vulnerable . James slife certainly nothing that approaches seoul in terms of the size, the density of the population. Theres nothing like it. Whitaker u. S. Air force general james slife flew with us over the city. Its just 30 miles from the d. M. Z. We landed at Osan Air Base where korean airmen and their american colleagues monitor all activity north of the d. M. Z. For security, they shut off the giant video displays right before we came in. This facility is among the first to detect north Korean Missile launches. Youre, like, on a war footing all the time. Slife thats right. This is truly one of those places where the best way to prevent a war is being ready for a war. Whitaker the norths latest missile test used a new type of solid fuel engine and was fired from a mobile launcher, making it quick to deploy and difficult for u. S. Satellites to detect in realtime. Slife with the development of ballistic missiles, with the development of Nuclear Weapons, things here have a tension that you can feel in the air as you move around places like this. Whitaker we wanted to talk to the general who leads u. S. Forces in korea and would command korean troops in the event of a war. He asked to meet us at guard post four. Its a citadel on critical high ground at the end of a road lined with land mines. We were the First American news crew allowed in. This was no cold war theme park. Body armor was required and artillery was on standby in the event we came under fire. General vincent brooks has commanded u. S. Forces fighting in iraq and afghanistan. I dont think people at home know how tense this line is. Vincent brooks what it takes to go from the condition were in at this moment to hostilities again, is literally the matter of a decision on north koreas side to say fire. And on top of this, we have the missile capability thats been developed, over 120 missiles fired just in the time of kim jongun alone. Whitaker so now theyre talking about i. C. B. M. S that might be able to reach the west coast of the United States. How do you stop them from taking that next step . Brooks north koreas responsible for the direction that the region is going. It is responsible for the conditions of instability that are starting to arise. It has to take responsibility for that and stop. Whitaker his country is poor. His people are starving. What is it that he wants . Brooks survival whitaker survival. Brooks and recognition. Whitaker kim jongun is now recognized as a global threat. U. S. Intelligence estimates he has at least ten Nuclear Weapons. If the u. S. Decided it had no choice but to launch a pre emptive strike on an i. C. B. M. Test site, it could trigger the unthinkable. Brooks if north korea uses Nuclear Weapons, it will be met with an effective and overwhelming response. Now they can take it to the bank. We make that same point to our allies and partners, like the republic of korea and like japan. Whitaker effective and overwhelming response . Brooks effective and overwhelming response. Whitaker wipe north korea off the map . Brooks whatever overwhelms you. Whitaker that warning rang in our ears as we returned to seoul and met one last time with defector thae yongho. We asked about his brother and sister, still in north korea. What do you think has happened to them . Thae yongho they will be sent to prison camps. That is what i am absolutely sure. Whitaker does that weigh on you . Thae yongho of course. Yes. I cannot get rid of that kind of nightmare after night of seeing my brother and sister in prison camps. Whitaker thae told us he believes he can help topple the north korean regime by encouraging other defections and speaking out. During the campaign, President Trump called kim jongun a maniac. His language has been much more careful since the latest missile test. Join the 60 minutes team under the watchful eyes and loaded guns of the north korean army. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com.

Stahl a federal judge in missouri heard arguments this past week in a case involving one of the most popular bolt action rifles in American History the remington 700 series. Heres the problem. Thousands of owners have complained that these rifles have fired without anyone squeezing the trigger. The company has downplayed the danger for decades, and the complaints represent only a fraction of the rifles out there. But ten attorneys general wrote the court saying, there are potentially as many as 7. 5 million defective rifles at issue, and that, remington knows, or should know, they are unreasonably dangerous. One avid hunter and gunlover is on a mission to raise awareness about what he calls the rifles defect. And he has good reason. Roger stringer i have become so accustomed to unpleasant thoughts and hardship, till that has become my new normal. Stahl one of Roger Stringers sons is dead; the other went to prison. Roger stringer pain is my constant companion. Stahl family photos of better days show dad and sons hunting. Roger, a powerline construction foreman from enon, mississippi, owned a remington model 700 rifle, and he bought another one for his older, then 12yearold son, zac. Roger stringer we loved the one that i had and he was old enough and mature enough. Stahl and how much was the safety stressed . Roger stringer paramount. Stahl but one night in 2011, the two boys, zac and justin, home alone, got into a fight. Zac, then 15, got his remington 700. Zac stringer and i loaded it. I loaded it with the purpose of scaring him. Stahl you knew you werent supposed to load the gun in the house. Zac stringer yes, maam, i had been i had been taught better. Stahl he says eventually emotions calmed down. Zac stringer and i started to stand up off of the couch and when i when i bent at the waist and started up, i heard a click. And it went off. And i remember the fire leapin from the barrel. I remember seein it hit. It was half his head was gone. Stahl panicking, he says, he went and got justins gun and placed it between his brothers legs to make it appear as though he had shot himself. Then zac called his parents. Roger stringer and zac met me outside and he said, daddy, dont go in there. And i just pushed him aside and i came on in. And it was really obvious that crying stahl it was right here, too. Roger stringer he was right there. Stahl detectives suspected right away that this wasnt selfinflicted. Zac was arrested the day of justins funeral, and later confessed that it was his gun, but he insisted it went off by itself. Zac stringer well, i didnt know how it had went off. Stahl did you deliberately kill your baby brother . Zac stringer no, maam. Stahl did you pull the trigger . Zac stringer no, maam. Stahl but zac was convicted and sent off to prison for ten years. Is it true that you actually testified against him at trial . Roger stringer i did. I did. Because id never heard of a gun goin off without a trigger bein pulled. It made no sense. Stahl what roger didnt know was that by then remington had gotten some 200 complaints claiming just that, about rifles like zacs, with a trigger mechanism called the xmark pro. Six months after justin was killed, another tragedy with the same trigger, this time in chadbourn, north carolina. 16yearold jasmine thar and her cousin jahmesha were about to go christmas shopping. Robert chaffin they were standing out in the front yard, with the grandmother sitting on the porch. Stahl robert chaffin, an attorney for jasmines family, made this animation a neighbor across the street in his bedroom picked up a loaded model 700. The safety was off. Chaffin and it fired through a closed window. And in what could be the most random act you ever heard of, the bullet traveled across the street and went through jahmeshas chest, barely missing her heart, and basically hit jasmine almost directly in the heart, and she died in her grandmothers front yard. Thats an incredibly tragic case. Stahl in a deposition under oath, James Anthony blackwell, a former marine and experienced hunter, couldnt explain how his rifle went off chaffin do you, anthony blackwell, believe that you pulled the trigger . Anthony blackwell no, sir. Chaffin do you think you touched it in any way . Blackwell no, sir. Stahl so, was he prosecuted . Chaffin no. Stahl chaffin had already won 17 million from remington in 1994 for a client who shot himself in the foot when he said his 700 fired on its own. Back then, rifles were made with another trigger called the walker. The company has faced 150 lawsuits alleging injury or death related to that trigger, but argues its always human error and never the guns fault. Has remington ever admitted wrongdoing . Chaffin never. You cannot admit wrongdoing when you have seven million of these things on the market. Stahl but according to a remington internal document, the company had evidence of the problem as early as 1975, when its own tests showed some of the model 700s firing without the trigger being pulled. And this 1979 document indicates the company considered a recall. That never happened, but a decade ago it did switch from the original walker trigger to the xmark pro. Chaffin they admit under oath in recent testimony that the new model was brought about to the market because they had so many complaints with the older model, not that there was anything wrong with it. And it turns out the new model was actually worse than the old model for the first eight years they manufactured it. Stahl thats stunning. The xmark pro came out in 2006. Chaffin yes, maam. Stahl how soon after that did remington start getting complaints . Chaffin soon. Stahl and they kept coming. Gun fired when safety was taken off twice; trigger was not touched. Three Police Departments complained. By early 2010, remington was getting videos from customers claiming they captured the trigger going off on its own after the safety was released. So you see the rifle did fire. Never touched the trigger. Stahl for years, despite the videos, and testing hundreds of rifles sent to the company, remington typically marked complaints could not duplicate and filed them in a database. And regulators couldnt do anything, because their hands are tied the government is allowed to recall toy guns, but not real ones. Then, in february 2014, remington received this video youll notice im in my coat. Stahl a remington owner videotaped an experiment in his garage, showing that the spontaneous firing is more likely in cold weather. As you can see, it fired. Stahl with the video all over youtube, remington did its own tests in bitter cold four out of ten rifles went off. In april 2014, the Company Fixed the problem, and announced a recall of over 1,300,000 rifles. Yet and heres where the critics weigh in remington continues to insist no one had been harmed by the xmark pro defect. It says that, even after settling the case over jasmine thars death. Jasmines family sued remington. Chaffin yes, they did. Stahl and how much did they sue for . Chaffin they sued for over 100 million. I cannot tell you the terms of the settlement. Stahl and in that settlement, as all the others, remington admits no wrongdoing . Chaffin true. Stahl and gets the silence of everybody. Chaffin true. Its a critical part of it. Stahl chaffin says that even when remington offers to fix the triggers, they do too little to notify gun owners. The company declined our request for an oncamera interview, but in a statement told us they broadly promoted and advertised the recall. Yet almost three years in, only about one in four of the rifles has been fixed; nearly a million remain out there. Do you think there are people with this gun, with this trigger mechanism, watching us right now saying, whoa i have that gun. . Chaffin thisll be the first time they ever heard of it. Stahl and theres still the issue of the original, walker trigger that remains in millions of rifles. Remington keeps getting complaints nearly 2,000 in the past four years alone. Its also facing a classaction lawsuit in which owners of guns with the walker claim the company knowingly sold them a defective product. Remington agreed to settle, offering to replace the triggers for free, even though it vehemently denies there is any design defect in the walker. A judge has yet to approve the settlement. Todd hilsee, an expert on class action notices, says the company is confusing its customers by burying the danger. Todd hilsee no highlighting of stop using your gun; it might kill someone. Stahl what do they say . Hilsee they say, we deny theres a problem. We deny any wrongdoing. Stahl theres nothing wrong with this gun, but lets hilsee but were willing to fix it. Stahl amplifying his point, ten attorneys general wrote the judge, chastising remington for refusing to acknowledge responsibility for the harm caused by its defective triggers. If everyone turns their guns in, how much would this cost remington to fix the problem . Hilsee the value would be 487 million. Stahl half a billion dollars. Hilsee half a billion dollars. Stahl in mississippi, Roger Stringer knew nothing about the Class Action Lawsuit or the recall. He was visiting zac in prison as often as he could, and zac kept telling him that he never pulled the trigger. So one day in 2015, roger picked up his iphone. Roger stringer i googled remington model 700, spontaneous firing. Stahl and . Roger stringer i just about dropped the phone when all that stuff showed up. I mean, there was just mountains and mountains of information about those guns; story after story of it happening to other people. Stahl he called remington and found out that zacs rifle with the xmark pro was under recall. That rifle is still being held at the local court house. A state forensic expert did test it before the trial, but hal kittrell, the prosecutor in the case, says he didnt know there had been other instances of the gun going off by itself. If you had known about this issue with the gun, the trigger problem, would you have gone ahead with the trial . Things may have gone differently . Hal kittrell i say this, lesley, i mean, had we known that there was a problem with the trigger before we were getting ready for trial, i can assure you we wouldve looked into that. We wouldve assessed this case based on that evidence, theres no question about that. Stahl shortly after we approached the prison to interview zac, roger unexpectedly got word that after five years behind bars, his son would be released for good behavior. Roger now believes his son is innocent and says he will soon ask the Mississippi Supreme Court to reconsider zacs conviction. Hes also written to the judge in the classaction case, asking him to hold remingtons feet to the fire. Roger stringer what im pushing for is for nobody else to have to walk in my shoes. I dont want anybody else to have to see their baby in the shape that justin was in that night. Stahl what would you like to see remington do now . Roger stringer eliminate the danger that is lurking in so many households. Stahl some people are gonna say that its convenient to blame remington. In other words, what if youre wrong about zac . Roger stringer there are going to be naysayers. I accept that. I welcome another day in court. But lets do it with all the facts. Im ready for it. Bring it on.

Lapook the u. S. Womens gymnastics team, for all its success over the past few decades, has become embroiled in a dark and disturbing scandal concerning sexual abuse. Last year, the Indianapolis Star investigated cases in which male coaches, members of the National Governing organization u. S. A. Gymnastics, were accused of sexually abusing female gymnasts. That report prompted young women to come forward with accounts of abuse they had suffered within the u. S. Gymnastics system for many years, as young girls and competitive gymnasts. These new accusations concern not a coach, but a prominent doctor whod been working with u. S. Olympic and National Teams and other athletes for three decades. More than 60 women have filed complaints so far, and some believe that number may reach into the hundreds. Now, for the first time, three former members of u. S. National teams, one an olympic medalist, describe, in what you should be warned is disturbing detail, the treatment they received from dr. Lawrence nassar, a man they trusted and felt so comfortable with, they called him, larry. Jeanette antolin all the girls liked larry. Jamie dantzscher he was, like, my buddy. He was on my side. Jessica howard he was so sure of himself. And as a young girl, youre confused. You dont know whats going on. Lapook Jessica Howard was the u. S. National champion in rhythmic gymnastics from 1999 to 2001. Very creative, innovative skills. Lapook Jeanette Antolin competed with the u. S. National team from 1995 to 2000. Shes been solid. Lapook she helped u. C. L. A. Win three national championships. Jamie dantzscher won a bronze medal in the 2000 olympics and was recently inducted into u. C. L. A. s Athletic Hall of fame. Shes taken the apple cart and flipped it upside down. Lapook they were teenagers, in a sport where injuries are common, and the professional they turned to for help staying in competition was this man seen here in instructional videos he posted on his web site. Lawrence nassar, an osteopathic physician, was one of the most famous doctors in the world of gymnastics. As a trainer and doctor, he worked with olympic and National Womens artistic gymnastics teams for more than two decades. Thats him right after kerri strugs famous ankle injury in the 1996 olympics in atlanta. And thats him today. Since december, hes been held without bail in michigan, where he worked at Michigan State universitys Sports Medicine clinic. Hes charged with possession of child pornography and criminal Sexual Conduct involving the daughter of a family friend. Investigators were able to make the case against him because gymnasts went public after years of silence. The police and f. B. I. Are now investigating dozens of other cases involving nassar, some decades old, others within the last two years. Dantzschers off to a great start tonight. Lapook Jamie Dantzscher says she started seeing dr. Nassar around 1995, after she became a member of the u. S. Junior national team. Dantzscher i started having really bad lower back pain on my right side on my back. So i went to him for my back pain. Lapook what specifically would he do . Dantzscher he would put his fingers inside of me and move my leg around. He would tell me i was going to feel a pop, and that that would put my hips back and help my back pain. Lapook how old were you then when he first did that procedure . Dantzscher i was either 13 or 14. Howard i was 15 years old and i had a hip problem. A very severe hip problem. And u. S. A. Gymnastics suggested that i go to the Karolyi Ranch to work with their doctor. Lapook the Karolyi Ranch outside houston, texas is a mecca for elite gymnasts who have given up any semblance of normal childhood to pursue their olympic dreams. Run by the legendary coaches bela and martha karolyi, its where members of the u. S. National team for artistic gymnastics come roughly once a month for several days of intensive training. The girls stayed in cabins on the property, and dr. Nassar would be there to provide medical treatment. Howard he started massaging me. And, he had asked me not to wear any underwear. And then he just continued to go into more and more intimate places. Lapook and when that happened, what, what was going through your head . Howard i remember thinking something was off, but i didnt feel like i was able to say anything, because he was, you know, this very high profile doctor, and i was very lucky to be at the ranch working with him. Lapook did any of the other girls in your cabin talk to you about dr. Nassar . Howard yes. The girls would say, yeah, he touches you funny. Antolin i remember being uncomfortable because of the area. But in my mind, i was like, if this helps, ill do anything. Lapook did you ever complain to anybody about it . Antolin no. Lapook why not . Antolin it was treatment. You dont complain about treatment. Lapook dr. Nassar has pled not guilty to the charges against him in michigan. In a statement from his lawyers, he has defended his treatment as legitimate. There is a rare therapy for back and hip pain where specialists massage areas inside the vagina. But for a minor, its expected such a procedure should involve a chaperone and use of a glove. Lapook did he use a glove . Dantzscher no. Lapook and how many times did you have this kind of a procedure . Dantzscher i mean, it happened all the way to the olympics in sydney, till i was 18. Lapook from the time you were around 13 or so until 18 . Dantzscher yes. Lapook and it was just in your mind, normal medical treatment . John manly youve got a 52 yearold man placing his hand in the vagina of nineyearolds, ungloved, for no good reason. Wrong. Lapook California Attorney john manly represents the women we interviewed and more than 40 others one as young as nine years old, and most under 18 at the time they say they were abused. Lapook how many women do you think he did that to . Manly we know there are at least 60 that have come forward. But my best estimate is its in the hundreds and possibly more. Lapook are you saying that members of the last two olympic teams from rio and from london were affected by dr. Nassar . That they were abused by him . Manly i believe what at the end of the day, there are members of every single olympic team since 1996 he did this to. Thats what were going to end up with. Lapook what makes you so sure about that . Manly because this is somebody who is a serial predator. But the story here is that no one was watching to protect these girls, and they put medals and money first. Lapook by they, manly means u. S. A. Gymnastics and the karolyis. Hes not arguing they knew anything about sexual abuse. Many years went by before the women we interviewed complained to anyone in authority. But part of the reason for that, manly argues, was a high pressure, emotionally abusive environment at the ranch, which he says made it easy for nassar to win the girls trust. Dantzscher i mean, the like, yelling and screaming, that was, like, normal. Lapook really . Dantzscher yeah. Lapook what kind of abusive things were said to you . Dantzscher it was never good enough. Youre not good enough. Antolin the pressure that they put on you to be perfection for them, it was very overwhelming and stressful. Manley it was an environment of fear. And he stepped in and became the good guy. And lapook dr. Nassar did . Manly dr. Nassar did. And he gave em candy. He gave em encouragement. He acted like he cared about them. No one else there gave that impression. Lapook what were these girls so afraid of . Manly not being able to fulfill their dream. I mean, youve given up your childhood and youve given up your adolescence to represent your country. And the karolyis and the Selection Team who are there have control on who goes. So your fate is in their hands. You must do what they say. Lapook on behalf of the women, attorney manly is suing the karolyis and u. S. A. Gymnastics for failing to protect their athletes. U. S. A. Gymnastics president steve penny declined to speak with us on camera about dr. Nassar. In a statement, the organization said it is appalled that anyone would exploit a young athlete or child in this manner. U. S. A. Gymnastics first learned of an athletes concern about dr. Nassar in june 2015, the statement said. Five weeks later, after an internal review, it reported him to the f. B. I. And relieved him of any further assignments. U. S. A. Gymnastics told us it has long had a policy that adult staff should avoid being alone with a minor. How often were you alone with him . Antolin most of the time. Lapook just in the treatment area, or also in your bedroom . Antolin in our cabins. They were like cabins. Yeah. Lapook thats like your bedroom. Antolin yeah. Uhhuh. Lapook yeah. And did the karolyis know that dr. Nassar was alone with you for these treatments . Dantzscher yeah. Lapook how how do you know that . Dantzscher well, they had to know. I mean, there there was no one else sent with him. And thats the thing, too, to think, like what they in in the bed . Why would you like, the treatment was in the bed, in my bed that i slept on at the ranch. Lapook bela and Marta Karolyi declined to give us an interview, but in a statement they said they were never aware that nassar was performing this procedure or was visiting athletes in their rooms without supervision. They also deny that there was an emotionally abusive environment at the ranch. Long before dr. Nassars arrest late last year, u. S. A. Gymnastics was facing criticism over its handling of sexual abuse complaints about coaches at its member gyms throughout the country. According to an investigation published by the Indianapolis Star in august, u. S. A. Gymnastics received a complaint that one of its coaches, william mccabe, should be locked up before someone is raped, but did not report it to the authorities at the time. It was only after the mother of a gymnast called the f. B. I. Seven years later that mccabe was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually exploiting gymnasts. Marvin sharp was named u. S. A. Gymnastics womens coach of the year in 2010, but was the subject of a sexual abuse complaint the following year. U. S. A. Gymnastics didnt report sharp to the police until four years later, when another complaint came in. Sharp killed himself in jail while facing molestation and child pornography charges. Senator Dianne Feinstein an association has a responsibility, or should have a responsibility. And that is to take care of its members. Lapook and do you think u. S. A. Gymnastics has done that . Senator feinstein no. Lapook senator Dianne Feinstein is the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary committee. Shes met with the women we interviewed and other gymnasts and is now working on legislation to correct what she sees as a problem in the reporting of sexual abuse complaints. Senator feinstein if an amateur athletic association, like u. S. A. Gymnastics, receives a complaint, an allegation they must report it right away to local police and the United States attorney. Lapook so this wouldnt apply just to gymnastics. It would apply to all olympic sports that have a National Governing body . Senator feinstein all amateur athletic organizations. Thats right. What i like about this routine is, she has a real variety of skills. Lapook its been nearly two decades since the women we interviewed competed at the highest level of their sport. Shes a young new up and coming star. She has really been having the meet of her life. Lapook today, they say theyre still grappling with the psychological impact of their competitive careers. Jeanette antolin told us it was only last year, after speaking with other gymnasts, that she realized dr. Nassar hadnt been helping her with her back pain after all. Antolin it was like almost like a light bulb went off. Like, oh my gosh. Like are you kidding me . Like i trusted this man. And just knowing how vulnerable i was as a kid, to even not even think that Something Like that would be inappropriate, just ruined me.
