#4 - Birds of a feather flock together (continued)

Even less surprising is the fact that John Geddert, an Olympic gymnastics coach for the United States Olympic women's gymnastics team in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, is currently under criminal investigation for physical assault of gymnasts.

Geddert, who owned Twistars USA Gymnastics Club in Lansing, Michigan until January, was a friend of Nassar, and his physical assault and Nassar's sexual assault essentially worked hand in hand. Geddert would injure gymnasts, many times out of frustration, and they would then go to Nassar, who also worked at Twistars, for "treatment".

Here is what Michigan State University and Twistars gymnast Lindsey Lemke had to say about going to Nassar in Geddert's gym, according to CNN.

“Ironically, Larry was our safe haven.”

As stated on a previous slide, Geddert was one of the people who was informed about Nassar's sexual assault early on, but he took no responsible action.

Birds of a feather flock certainly do flock together, and this is one key reason why seeing comments on social media criticizing Nassar's victims as opposed to Nassar himself or his protectors, defenders and enablers are very alarming on many levels.
