  • Aly Raisman told "60 Minutes" that she was among the gymnasts who were sexually abused by Dr. Larry Nassar.
  • "Fierce Five" teammate McKayla Maroney said last month she was also abused by Nassar.
  • Nassar is currently in jail awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.


NEW YORK (AP) - Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman says she is among the young women abused by a former USA Gymnastics team doctor.

Raisman tells "60 Minutes" she was 15 when she was first treated by Dr. Larry Nassar, who spent more than two decades working with athletes at USA Gymnastics. He's now is in jail in Michigan awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.

Raisman, the captain of the 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold-medal winning team, details the abuse in her book "Fierce," which will be released on Nov. 14.

Raisman is the latest gymnast to claim she was abused by Nassar. McKayla Maroney, who won two medals at the 2012 Games as Raisman's teammate on the "Fierce Five," said last month she was molested for years by Nassar.
