#7 - Criticism of Larry Nassar's victims holds no water whatsoever (continued)

Specifically, critics of Aly Raisman try to justify Larry Nassar for sexually assaulting her based on the fact that she took part in photo shoots for ESPN The Body Issue in 2015 and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in both 2017 and 2018.

First of all, using the fact that Raisman participated in these photo shoots as justification for sexual assault is completely wrong. Anyone who does this clearly does not know the meaning of the word "consent" (or the word "logic").

Plus, no one ever justifies criticism of any kind toward athletes such as Ezekiel Elliott, Odell Beckham Jr. or Giancarlo Stanton just because they took part in photo shoots for ESPN The Body Issue, so justifying Nassar's sexual assault of Raisman over her taking part in these photo shoots is completely out of line.
