Judge slams USA Gymnastics doctor for saying victim statements about abuse hurt his mental health
January 19, 2018More than 100 women have made sexual assault accusations against USA Gymnastics team physician Larry Nassar, including athletes Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, and McKayla Maroney.
But apparently he doesn’t want to hear about it — it’s too “mentally” hard to listen to their testimonies, according to a six-page letter Nassar wrote to Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who’s presiding over his sentencing. Nassar pled guilty to 10 sexual assault charges, and as part of a plea deal he agreed to let women and girls who reported abuse give statements, or have them read through a proxy, during his sentencing hearing, according to the Lansing State Journal in Michigan, where the proceeding is being held.

Insane video shows tree falling just inches from woman and her baby in a stroller
January 19, 2018A woman and her baby came just inches from certain death after a tree fell during a major windstorm in the Netherlands.
Security cam footage timestamped on Thursday from a snack cart in Horst shows a woman pushing her child in a stroller next to a large tree. Suddenly, as the woman is passing, the tree can be seen tipping over, and eventually falls just inches away from the woman and the stroller that was protecting her child. It appears the tree also knocked over a few signs in the process.
Bad winds battered the Netherlands on Thursday, felling trees like the one in the video, and even toppling trucks and tearing roofs off buildings, according to the Washington Post. At least three people were killed in the Netherlands as a result of the winds, which reached speeds of 75 mph, according to Dutch News. Read more…
