Ep. 27: Let's Talk Larry Nassar and All the People Who Enabled Him to Touch Kids

Larry Nassar, pedophila enthusiast who confused himself for a doctor once, sexually abused some 500 girls, many of whom were U.S. gymnasts and nine of whom were Olympic athletes. He's now spending the rest of his days in a place where he's likely finding out what the other side of abuse feels like but he could have started his stay there much earlier if only there weren't a slew of people who knew he was a pedo and ignored it or tried to pretend they couldn't see it like a cat that hides only its head under the couch but you can clearly still see three-quarters of its body and it thinks it's sneaky but it's actually just kind of dumb in a cute way.
