Jordyn Wieber, who was one of the gold medal-winning members of the United States Women's Gymnastics team in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, revealed that she and two of her teammates confided in one another regarding the "treatments" given by team doctor Larry Nassar.

Wieber revealed that she, Aly Raisman, and McKayla Maroney confided in one another about Nassar's "treatments", which really consisted of him sexually assaulting the gymnasts under the guise of medical treatment.

Here is what Wieber had to say about the matter, according to Daily Mail.

"We just thought it was very strange that he did this weird medical treatment, this weird technique."

These procedures involved Nassar digitally penetrating the gymnasts with multiple fingers on his ungloved hands.

More than 260 people have come forward with sexual assault allegations against the 54-year-old disgraced former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University physician, who was arrested in December of 2016 after getting away with his crimes for roughly two decades.

In addition to Wieber, Raisman and Maroney, one of the other two members of the 2012 United States Women's Olympic Gymnastics team came forward with allegations against Nassar, with that being Gabby Douglas.

In total, four of the five members of the team nicknamed the "Fierce Five" have accused Nassar of sexual assault. Only Kyla Ross has not.

Nassar was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison on three child pornography charges back in December before being sentenced to between 40 and 175 years in state prison on seven sexual assault charges following a seven-day sentencing hearing in an Ingham County, Michigan courtroom in January.

Wieber and Raisman both delivered impact statements at this hearing along with more than 150 others. Maroney's statement was read in court on her behalf.

Nassar was then sentenced to an additional 40 and 125 years in state prison on three more sexual assault charges following another sentencing hearing in an Eaton County, Michigan courtroom in February during which more impact statements were read.

During this sentencing hearing, the father of three of Nassar's victims attempted to attack him before being brought down by security. He did not receive punishment for lunging at the disgraced Nassar.

Nassar is currently serving what is essentially his life sentence in United States Penitentiary Tucson, which is a maximum-security federal prison in Tucson, Arizona that offers a sex offender program for predators such as Nassar.
