FBI turned 'blind eye' to reports of abuse



WASHINGTON:
Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles told Congress in forceful testimony Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) federal law enforcement and gymnastics officials turned a 'blind eye' to USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar's sexual abuse of her and hundreds of other women.

Biles told the Senate Judiciary Committee that 'enough is enough' as she and three other US gymnasts spoke in stark emotional terms about the lasting toll Nassar's crimes have taken on their lives. In response, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray said he was 'deeply and profoundly sorry' for delays in Nassar's prosecution and the pain it caused.
