The actor expressed her support for the gymnasts who testified before the U.S. Senate about the FBI's mishandling of sexual abuse allegations against Larry Nassar.

"I was honored to meet with some of the brave US gymnasts who appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday," Jolie wrote."I’m in awe of their courage and commitment to preventing future failures to investigate abuse. As Aly Raisman said in her testimony, “Over 100 victims could have been spared the abuse. All we needed was one adult to do the right thing.”'

"Sending support and respect to them, and to all who are reliving this trauma so that system reforms can occur. I was on Capitol Hill this week, engaging with Senators on the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization and FBI reforms, including better protections for abused children, non-biased forensic evidence collection, trauma care, and judicial training."

Jolie is pictured with former elite gymnasts Kaylee Lorincz, Maggie Nichols, McKayla Maroney, Jessica Howard and Aly Raisman, who all said they suffered sexual abuse by Nassar. The disgraced doctor is serving up to 175 years in prison after pleading guilty to abusing 10 of the more than 265 accusers who came forward.

Gymnasts testify as Congress investigates FBI's handling of Larry Nassar sexual abuseOlympic gymnast McKayla Maroney: “What is the point of reporting abuse if our own FBI agents are going to take it upon themselves to bury that report in a drawer? They had legal legitimate evidence of child abuse and did nothing.” MalloryNews So much admiration for these brave and strong young women. The threat is not from domestic terrorism, but rather from our pwn governmental law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Something don’t smell right if these were young girls in their early teens . Where were their Parents. Blaming the FBI? But mom and dad are not accountable. FBI can only go by actual evidence not just hearsay and why come parents are not giving testimony.
