The alleged incident took place in March this year but the woman, who won three gold medals in the national para-athletics championship in 2021, said she did not report the matter to the police earlier fearing her career as a shot put and discus thrower would be affected. However, recently she decided to report the matter to the police and based on her complaint, an FIR was lodged at Aberdeen police station, South Andaman Superintendent of Police Niharika Bhatt told PTI. "We are examining all those linked to the case," she said. According to the woman's complaint, she had written to the <keyword id="22333690" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Department-of-Sports" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Department of Sports" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Department of Sports">Department of Sports</keyword> for remuneration for 2022-23 and other facilities meant for para-athletes. "Accordingly, I called up the nodal officer as per directions of an assistant secretary level officer. The nodal officer asked me to meet him at his chamber in Port Blair. But as I went there, he molested me. I shouted for help and escaped," excerpts from the letter read. When contacted, the woman said, "The incident has shaken me completely and I want justice." However, the nodal officer, against whom the complaint has been lodged, claimed that the allegation was part of a larger conspiracy by a section of people to remove him from the post. "All the charges against me are fabricated and baseless. I am in touch with my lawyer to take appropriate steps to prove my innocence," he said.

Andaman: Para-athlete alleges molestation by official, FIR lodged

As President Donald Trump's presidential campaign lurches toward the finish line, many of his supporters have seized on an increasingly deranged and unsupported set of accusations and tropes that paint Joe Biden and the Democratic Party as tolerant of sex predators who prey on children. The line of attack, which is consistent with and inspired by the QAnon conspiracy theory, has reached <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-qanon-infiltrated-the-gop-2020-10">the highest levels of the Trump campaign.</a>But as Trump's supporters work to inject accusations of pedophilia into mainstream political discourse, an Insider investigation has unearthed long-buried details about a key player in Trump's reelection effort, and accusations that she presided over a shocking sexual-abuse scandal in which multiple individuals accused a long-time wrestling ring announcer of gratifying himself sexually with their feet when they were children.The key player is <keyword id="52778" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Linda-McMahon">Linda McMahon</keyword>, who served in Trump's Cabinet as head of the Small Business Administration before stepping down to chair <keyword id="10191280" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="america-first-action">America First Action</keyword>, a key pro-Trump super PAC. <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00637512&amp;cycle=20202020">In the 2020 election cycle</a> so far, America First Action has raised $128 million and spent $107 million on Trump's behalf.

The accused child molester was <keyword id="10191279" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="mel-phillips">Mel Phillips</keyword>, a ring announcer who also worked behind the scenes running the crew that put the wrestling ring itself together. His public downfall was chronicled in the tabloid press in the 1990s.

America First Action and Linda has not done any such thing."In a statement, WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt said "the only persons implicated were not senior officials, nor were there any claims of anything approximating conventional forms of sexual abuse such as rape, sodomy, etc. Instead, [a young former WWE employee] claimed Mel Phillips had a foot fetish and played with his feet." He also described allegations that the McMahons were aware of the accusations against Phillips while continuing to pay him as a ring announcer as "outlandish" and "classic libel."<h2><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/linda-mcmahon-once-employed-an-accused-child-molester-2020-10?r=mcmahon-teaser">You can read the full Insider investigation here. </a></h2>

The group receiving the settlement includes former University of Michigan athletes and students who say former football team doctor Robert Anderson molested them during regular physical examinations that date back to the 1970s, lawyers for many of the alleged victims, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/19/sports/ncaafootball/michigan-abuse-settlement-robert-anderson.html">told the New York Times.</a>There are 1,050 former University of Michigan athletes and students who have filed lawsuits in federal court accusing the school of not acting when it knew of reports of abuse, <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/education/2022/01/19/university-michigan-robert-anderson-settlement-sexual-assault/6553333001/">the Detroit Free Press reported</a>.The agreed-upon settlement is one of the largest ever between a US university and <keyword id="11910913" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="sexual-abuse" source="Orion">sexual abuse</keyword> victims, according to The Times.A settlement comes more than three years after whistleblower and former University of Michigan wrestler Tad DeLuca wrote to the university's athletics director, Warde Manuel, accusing Anderson of abusing him in the 1970s, <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/28793817/ex-um-wrestler-tad-deluca-says-warnings-doc-ignored">ESPN reported</a> when DeLuca spoke out for the first time in 2020.DeLuca's letter prompted a police investigation, the school <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/university-michigan-wrestler-says-he-was-booted-team-reporting-abusive-n1144276">told NBC News in 2020</a>, though Washtenaw County prosecutors declined to press charges in part because Anderson died in 2008, ESPN reported.In the years since DeLuca's allegations were made public, hundreds of others have said Anderson abused them, including Matt Schembechler, the son of late Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler, who said <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/10/us/bo-schembechler-son-robert-anderson-abuse/index.html">at a press conference</a> in June that Anderson abused him.Anderson worked at the University of Michigan from 1968 to 2003.<a href="https://regents.umich.edu/files/meetings/01-01/WH_Anderson_Report.pdf">A report commissioned by the University of Michigan published in May 2021</a> found that the school had received several reports of accusations against Anderson over several decades and failed to act.The report said that when the University of Michigan asked people who say Anderson abused them to come forward in February 2020, they received more than 100 reports in two weeks.Meanwhile many lawsuits filed against the University of Michigan accusing Anderson of abuse, including the first filed, were done so anonymously, according to the Detroit Free Press. Official mediation for a settlement began in October 2020, according to the university, but the school began looking into claims of abuse against Anderson in February of the same year, the Times reported. "The University of Michigan has accepted responsibility financially and otherwise for harm that was caused by Anderson to so many young people that could have been avoided," attorney Jamie White, who represents some of the former students who say Anderson abused them, said in a statement shared with the Detroit Free Press."The university should be commended and not condemned," White added. "Most of our clients had a strong love for the university and did not want to see permanent damage, but wanted accountability. I believe we accomplished those goals yesterday."Of the $490 million total settlement, $460 million will be available to the approximately 1,050 claimants, and $30 million will be reserved for future claimants who choose to participate in the settlement before July 31, 2023, according to a statement from the University of Michigan shared with Insider."We hope this settlement will begin the healing process for survivors," said Jordan Acker, chair of the University of Michigan Board of Regents. "At the same time, the work that began two years ago, when the first brave survivors came forward, will continue."

"After telling my entire story of abuse to the FBI in the summer of 2015, not only did the FBI not report my abuse, but when they eventually documented my report 17 months later, they made entirely false claims about what I said."<div type="image" title="mckayla maroney.JPG" height="1571" width="2095" msid="86236580" hostid="261"></div>Maroney gave harrowing, explicit testimony detailing what she relayed to the FBI about Nassar's serial abuse.

"I hadn't even told my own mother about these facts, but I thought as uncomfortable, and as hard as it was to tell my story, I was gonna make a difference and hopefully protecting others from the same abuse.""I told them that the first thing Larry Nassar ever said to me was to change into shorts with no underwear because that would make it easier for him to work on me," she added.

"They asked if this treatment ever helped me. I said, 'No, it never did.'"She also described an incident in Tokyo when she was 15 years old. Nassar gave her a sleeping pill for the plane ride overseas, and later that evening, Maroney found herself "naked, completely alone, with him on top of me, molesting me for hours."<div type="image" title="mckayla maroney.JPG" height="1620" width="2160" msid="86237855" hostid="261"></div>"I told them I thought I was going to die that night," she said.

"To have my abuse be minimized and disregarded by the people who were supposed to protect me, just to feel like my abuse was not enough."Maroney's accusations came during testimony at a <keyword id="12087451" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="senate-judiciary-committee" source="Orion">Senate Judiciary Committee</keyword> hearing looking into the agency's failings in the Nassar scandal.

They each alleged that the FBI, as well as USA Gymnastics and the US Olympic &amp; Paralympic Committee, failed to adequately protect them from a child molester."They had legal, legitimate evidence of child abuse and did nothing," Maroney said. "What is the point of reporting abuse if our own FBI agents are going to take it upon themselves to bury that report in a drawer?"Maroney's full opening statement is available below:

McKayla Maroney accuses FBI of lying about what she told them in the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case

"What I know Aja hopes comes from this lawsuit and comes from this path, is protecting other athletes."Tuegel also said an important component of the case was racial discrimination in sports and the additional barriers women of color face to compete.Athletes from the bobsled team described what they called "good ol' boys club" attitudes, with an almost all-white leadership team, Tuegel said.Tuegel said the progression of the case could take time, with the next steps being serving all the defendants, and then gathering evidence and investigating.Wilhelm's lawyer, Ryan Stevens, said Wilhelm was not publicly commenting on the case at present, but that he denies the "detestable claims" against him."He has not yet had the opportunity to defend any of these baseless claims in court or through the litigation process, but he looks forward to doing so," said Stevens in an email. "Dr. Wilhelm looks forward to vetting these unfounded claims and will pursue all legal avenues to protect his professional reputation."A representative for the USA Bobsled-Skeleton team told Insider it could not comment on specifics of ongoing lawsuits, but condemned sexual misconduct, and said it would be cooperative in SafeSport investigations.The US Olympic Paralympic Committee did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.This is a breaking story, check back for more information.
