Rachael Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar of sexual abuse, again called for the governing body to be decertified after a former coach accused of sexual assault died by suicide on Thursday.
John Geddert, who coached the U.S. women's gymnastics team to Olympic gold in 2012 and had ties to Nassar, had faced numerous charges, including 20 counts of human trafficking, one count of first-degree sexual assault and one count of second-degree sexual assault.
Denhollander went public with her allegations against Nassar in 2016, prompting more than 350 other women to come forward. She said Geddert denied the survivors of his abuse justice by taking his own life.
