McKayla Maroney Says USA Gymnastics Tried To Silence Her Abuse Story

Former Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney is suing USA Gymnastics in California court.  She claims the gymnastics federation tried to silence her nearly a year before she came forward publicly with allegations of repeated molestation by the team's doctor, Larry Nassar.  

Maroney's attorney says USA Gymnastics made her sign a non-disclosure agreement as part of a financial settlement to pay for psychological treatment.  He called the agreement "an immoral and illegal attempt to silence a victim of child sexual abuse."  Nassar has since pleaded guilty to molesting 10 girls and possessing child pornography.
