Aly Raisman & Fellow Sexual Assault Survivors to be Honored at ESPY Awards 2018

Aly Raisman and the hundred of survivors who spoke up against disgraced doctor Larry Nassar are being honored at 2018 ESPY Awards.

The 23-year-old Olympic gymnast along with the her “sister survivors” will receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at this year’s sports awards ceremony.

“We are honored to recognize the courage of these women at the 2018 ESPYS, to acknowledge the power of their voices, and to shine a very well-deserved spotlight on what speaking up, fighting back and demanding accountability can accomplish,” said ESPN Vice President Alison Overholt.

Aly and many of the other survivors spoke at Larry‘s sentencing hearings earlier this year which led to the disgraced doctor being sentenced to up to 175 years in prison on multiple counts of sexual assault.

The 2018 ESPY Awards is set to air on Wednesday, July 18.
