public, a top official knew some allegations had been made and did nothing. in 2015, the head of usa gymnastics sent an e-mail to larry boonedorf, detailing graphic allegations uncovered by a private investigator. a source described the e-mail to nbc news, which read that usa gymnastics has recently been made aware of potential sexual misconduct committed against one or more of its team athletes

raisman and michaela ckayla maroney. according to the memo, maroney reported that nassar might be getting sexual gratification from their encounters. he never told anyone else at the committee about the e-mail because he was told not to share it. the summary was labeled high ll confidential. and olympic committee was told the fbi was handling the investigation. nassar would go on to practice medicine at michigan state university for another year, allegedly abusing multiple young men during that time. neither the usoc or usa gymnastics alerted the university. nd gymnastics stars are
