Aly Raisman says Olympic team doctor molested her

Six-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman said that she was sexually abused by the women’s gymnastics national team doctor.

Raisman, who is Jewish and is one of the most accomplished gymnasts in U.S. history, made the allegation against Dr. Larry Nassar in an interview scheduled to air Sunday on the CBS news magazine “60 Minutes,” as well as in her new book, “Fierce.”

She is the second member of the gold medal-winning 2012 Olympic women’s team to accuse Nassar of abuse, Time magazine’s online edition noted in an article published Friday. In October, McKayla Maroney wrote on Twitter that Nassar molested her for years beginning when she was 13.
