UCLA gymnasts Kyla Ross and Madison Kocian say they were abused by Larry Nassar

Both gymnasts, who now compete collegiately at UCLA, have filed civil lawsuits against Michigan State University, which employed Nassar for decades, and plan to do so against the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics.

Ross, who won gold as part of the “Fierce Five” at the 2012 Olympics, told the Associated Press the abuse began when she was 13 and continued throughout her career.

The group included Jordyn Wieber, who competed alongside Ross at the 2012 London Games and now serves as an assistant coach with the Bruins. Until she stood in front of Nassar, Wieber had never spoken publicly about her abuse.
