Former Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon testifies before the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection regarding the sexual abuse of dozens of gymnasts who were under the care of former MSU physician and convicted child molester Larry Nassar. Simon says that she is horrified that Nassar's crimes occurred during her tenure and that she did not know of his actions. She also comments on settlement negotiations with the survivors, university investigations into allegations against other MSU employees, and how abuse complaints were handled under her administration. Also testifying are USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny and Rhonda Faehn, USA Women's Gymnastics program director. The Committee is chaired by Jerry Moran (R-KS) until John Thune (R-SD) returns to assume the chair.
