the end of the quote acutally reads. "what they do in the shadows, especially when you don't do anything about it"
This is appaling, and plenty of other words. I feel so bad for these girls and I'm hopeful justice will be served and any party that engaged in covering this up will be justly punished.

....she deserves a pay raise for sure.

apparently the shadows are his own offices on college campuses and Olympic training facilities. Seems like it a lot of this was pretty out in the open.

They don't advertise what they're doing in the Sunday paper? Well........ now I totally understand how he was able to get away with it for 20 years.

Why the hell would you say that? Even if it's true, all it sounds like is you're admitting defeat and coming up with excuses as to why you couldn't catch this guy, and why going after any potential sexual predators going forward is an exercise in futility. It's basically telling every future victim, "Sorry, it's too hard, you're on your own."
While I'm of the mindset that too many people get all up in their feelings these days over really minor shit, and I HATE the need that our society drives for having to be all PC all the time, I have to say this is one statement I can't just say "Get over it."

More and more disturbing as the timeline is fleshed out. She had notice as early as 1997.
Latest victim to come forward is a gymnast from the Univ. of Oklahoma.

It's clear they are circling the wagons - I'd like to see them get hit with damages that top a billion dollars from these 100+ victims.

MSU is seeking to be removed as co-defendents from 140 plantiff lawsuits

I mean I get that you want them to be held accountable, but MSU is a public school, so any damages the school is responsible for will ultimately be the responsibility of taxpayers.

Am I reading correctly? After the FBI, MSU, and USA gymnastics all knew he was under investigation (but apparently none of which communicated with the other) for complaints about sexual misconduct, but he was allowed to continue to work for 2 years and in that time assault no less than 20 women? How on earth is this possible?

USAG/Us olympic committee and msu/klages/hollis/louanna k simon are all in this disgusting mess.
I cannot comprehend how hollis and laks are still completing their daily duties at msu. At the very least they belong on suspension/administrative leave.
January 15th, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
what about the parents of these women that were assualted, no one thought it would be a good idea to remove their child from the situation? I am not saying any of it is right, but come on...

by the time all the lawsuits are settled, Michigan State University will have paid out many, many millions of dollars.
And unless there's some secret MSU fund somewhere that's entirely the creation of private donors, ultimately it will be Michigan taxpayers footing the bill.

it was an MSU grad who invented the Big Mac.
January 15th, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
the NYT obit doesn't mention it (link here).
The article you link does, but the year is improbable: it lists 1964 as the year of his graduation, which would make him 46 at the time (born in 1918) and well into his career as an owner of many franchises.
I also found another "James Delligati" that had graduated from "North Allegheny" high school in PA and then went to Michigan State from 1960-1964 (link here).
I wonder if some lazy newspaper person got these people mixed up, or somehow the guy really (for some very odd reason) go back to school in his mid-40's while running many businesses.
And yes, I spent far too much time on this. It just sounds like one of those Internet things that aren't true.
Ah, and now I found the truth: Jim's SON went to MSU (and is the person mentioned above), and claims to also have invented the Big Mac (at least, in this article), but this seems like a stretch. All other sites say the dad was the inventor, and he did not go to MSU.

to flub the invention of a hamburger.
January 15th, 2018 at 12:12 PM ^
The seriously tragic part of all this is that regardless of how you feel about a dildo-crafting seminar being an appropriate campus activity, you can bet your bippy that MSU would've scrutinized it with far more alacrity than they did Nassar's crimes.
January 15th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
I feel this whole disgusting situation screams lack of institutional control and failure to monitor. All sports during this time span involved in any sexual assault or misconduct deserve far greater punishment than the current NCAA brass will deliver.
All sports other than gymnastics of course. Those poor girls are victims of the culture created by, or invited to msu by their higher ups.

Apparently Outside the Lines will be showing a piece dedicated to MSU and Nassar connection. The short video makes it seem very damning. Probably just more of what the Mlive article says.

The lengths everybody involved with this case went to, to dismiss, defend, silence, and protect Nasser, and themselves, is just staggering. It's so confusing, I can't begin to imagine their motivations for all looking the other way time after time, after time, after time. Only when it became public was action suddenly taken. It reminds me of the Love Canal disaster when toxic waste was running in the streets and pooling in peoples basements and backyards, and the local government and the state attorney general publically accused victims of simply imagining things, and their illnesses were due to mass histeria..

I have been told it is virtually impossible to stop a determined sexual predator and pedophile, that they will go to incomprehensible lengths to keep what they do in the shadows," MSU President Lou Ann K. Simon told her board last April
Burn the fucking place down. If this isn't "lack of institutional control", I don't know what is. This worse than Penn St/Sandusky
