A TEENAGE male gymnast who was sexually assaulted by the disgraced Olympic doctor Larry Nassar has broken his silence over the “sickening” ordeal.
Jacob Moore, 18, laid bare the effect of his abuse at the hands of Nassar in a tell-all interview.
In January Nassar was jailed for more than 175 years after he was convicted of sexually assaulting scores of young women.
The number of those who have come forward as his victims exceeds 250.
But Jacob was the identified as the first male victim and he has bravely spoken out about what happened to him.
Court papers and his sister's own testimony state that Jacob was taken down to the cellar and had his pants ripped down by Nassar.
Acupuncture needles were stuck in and around his privates.
Talking on , he said: “I hope he rots in hell.
“I wasn't a dumb kid. I knew kind of what medical practices were and that one was out of the ordinary."
Like other victims, Jacob did not think too much into the weird treatment given Nassar's esteemed reputation - although he admits he was "uncomfortable".
