Rachael Denhollander: The voice that began end of Nassar:
“It’s worth remembering that it was one woman who came public first, and when she did she was ridiculed, folks rallied behind him, they tried to discredit her, they signed petition and supported him. They believed him over her because of who he was purported to be,” said Assistant Attorney General Angela Povilaitis in her closing statement before Nassar was sentenced.
It wasn’t until December 2016, when Nassar’s collection of child pornography emerged, that Denhollander’s claims were taken more seriously. Other charges followed and Nassar eventually admitted guilt.
“It has not been an easy process for these victims, especially Rachael, all alone publicly for many, many months,” Povilaitis said.
