Raisman was one of many victims of Nassar’s who came forward to bravely tell her truth. The six-time Olympic medalist has since become a prominent advocate for assault victims.

In a tell-all interview with 60 Minutes, the pro gymnast spoke up about Nassar’s manipulation tactics against young athletes.

“He would always bring me, you know, desserts or gifts,” Raisman said. “He would buy me little things. So I really thought he was a nice person. I really thought he was looking out for me.”

The twisted doctor was sentenced to 175 years in prison.
