HUNTSVILLE, TX (AP)-- USA Gymnastics again says it is committed to "doing everything possible" to prevent future sexual assaults of its athletes after authorities in Texas indict a former sports doctor and ex-trainer on sexual assault charges.
The Indianapolis-based group that trains elite Olympians also tells The Associated Press in a statement that it "is dedicated to creating a highly empowered culture that encourages and supports our athletes while pursuing their gymnastics dreams in a safe environment."
Larry Nassar was indicted on six counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child. Former USA Gymnastics trainer Debra Van Horn was indicted on one count.
Prosecutors say the charges involve six victims.
Nassar is serving decades in prison for sexual assault and possession of child pornography in Michigan.
Van Horn had various roles in training programs with USA Gymnastics which said Friday that she no longer is an employee.
