“I applaud the brave survivors who held Harvey Weinstein accountable, and the investigative journalists who prevailed against the resistance of money and power to uncover enough facts for Lady Justice to do her thing,” she wrote. “Truth is essential to both justice and reform.”

“It’s been almost five YEARS since I reported my abuse and USAG/USOC still disclaim responsibility and obstruct our search for the truth,” she continued. “They acknowledge widespread sexual abuse, organizational incompetence, and ongoing criminal investigations but STILL suppress the facts needed to understand how this nightmare actually happened. And now, they seek to ensure we’ll never know the truth, by demanding we release those people we know to be culpable so they won’t have to reveal who else may be culpable.”

“So many of us have suffered because these organizations have put their interests ahead of our safely and welfare, and so long as their self-preservation takes precedence over the truth, the problem will continue, as will our suffering,” she added.
