The Larry Nassar scandal takes on a new dimension. Gymnast Jacob Moore alleged in a lawsuit that he was sexually abused by Nassar, Tom Schad of USA Today reports. He becomes the first known male accuser.
Moore joins his elder sister, Kamerin Moore, as a plaintiff in the amended federal lawsuit.
Moore, now a gymnast at the University of Michigan, claims he was sexually abused and harassed by Nassar in 2016. The newspaper writes:
Moore alleges that he went to Nassar's home to receive treatment for a shoulder injury when he was 16 years old. After a female gymnast, who was also a minor at the time, entered the basement where Nassar was treating Moore, the doctor pulled down Moore's pants and exposed him to the female, according to the complaint.
Nassar told Moore that he would treat the gymnast's shoulder injury "through acupuncture in his pubic area and in and around his genitalia," then proceeded to do so.
"There is no known medical connection between shoulder pain which can be treated through acupuncture in the area of a male’s genitalia," the complaint states.
