Simone Biles detailed the aftermath of her decision to come forward as a victim of former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar

Simone Biles was one of hundreds of women who came forward in 2018 as sexual abuse victim of former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar. Now, the gymnast is reflecting on the decision to go public with her past trauma.

“If I could shine a light on whatever that is, then I'm going to do that,” she continued. “But I wanted to be in a good enough place and to have the proper help lined up before I spoke out, because that stuff was so traumatizing. And I truly don't understand how I did what I did under those circumstances and how I put on a face.”

The FBI later discovered child pornography on computer hard drives, which he attempted to discard, and Nassar was arrested on federal charges. He ultimately pleaded guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography and evidence tampering in 2017, earning him a 60-year prison sentence.
