Star U.S. gymnasts offered stark criticism Wednesday of the FBI's handling of its investigation into sexual assault and harassment in the U.S. gymnastics program, prompting criticism from lawmakers of the Department of Justice.  

“We have been failed and we deserve answers,” Olympic medalist Simone Biles, widely considered the greatest U.S. gymnast of all time, said during testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The entire day of testimony was a difficult one for the FBI, which fired one agent involved with the investigation a week before the hearing. 

“I want to begin by saying to the brave women who testified this morning … I’m deeply and profoundly sorry to each and every one of you,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in his own testimony. 

“I’m sorry that so many different people let you down over and over again. And I’m especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed, and that is inexcusable,” Wray said.

I've read about pedophiles weaseling into programs that are designed to serve our youth and help develop their minds and bodies and they almost all get busted eventually but this case is so off the charts for how blatant it was, for so long to so many victims.

It was a big failure by dozens of adults that were involved or knew what was going on but didn't do anything, in not protecting these girls for various reasons. There were up to 250 victims of this predator. It's almost impossible for me to imagine how it could get over a few dozen girls before adults stepped in to stop this.
