McKayla Maroney says Larry Nassar manipulated her with loaves of bread

McKayla Maroney, the 22-year-old former Olympic gymnast who recently spoke publicly about the sexual assault that she was forced to endure at the hands of disgraced former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University physician Larry Nassar for the first time, has made another stark revelation.

Maroney, who revealed back in October on Twitter that Nassar sexually assaulted her starting at the age of 13 and even when she was 16 years old at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England as one of the five members of the United States women's gymnastics team, broke her silence on Tuesday during a luncheon for the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children at The Pierre hotel in New York, New York.

The 22-year-old also did an interview with TODAY's Savannah Guthrie to discuss Nassar's assault. This interview is set to air in its entirety on an hourlong Dateline NBC special called "Silent No More" on Sunday, April 22 at 7:00 pm ET.

Previews of this interview have been released, with one having been released on Wednesday and another having been released on Thursday.

Here is what she had to say in the clip that was released on Thursday.

"I think I would have starved at the Olympics if I didn't have him bring me food. Your coaches are just always watching you and wanting to keep you skinny. There's just other things about the culture that are also messed up that he used against us."

Here is the clip that was released on Thursday.

When asked what exactly Nassar would do in regard to bringing her food, here is how Maroney responded.

"[He would] buy me a loaf of bread!"

There have been several more of Nassar's victims, of which there are more than 260, who have alleged that he used grooming techniques to manipulate them into thinking that he was their friend as well.

In many cases, it took time for several of his victims to realize that was he was doing to them was sexually assaulting them.

He got away with sexually assaulting these hundreds of people, many of whom female gymnasts, for roughly two decades. He was arrested three months after Rachael Denhollander became the first of his victims to publicly accuse him of sexual assault when she took her story to the Indianapolis Star in September of 2016.

Nassar was given a 60-year federal prison sentence in December of last year on three child pornography charges. He is currently serving this sentence at United States Penitentiary Tucson in Tucson, Arizona.

He was also given state prison sentences of between 40 and 175 years and between 40 and 125 years on seven and three sexual assault charges in January and February, respectively, of this year.

Maroney's victim impact statement was read on her behalf at Nassar's sentencing hearing in January, and it was one of 169 statements that were read over the course of that seven-day hearing.
