AFTER more than 265 women came forward to accuse former gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar of sexual abuse, the first male victim has spoken out.

According to the New York Post, Jacob Moore, who was a former member of the US men’s junior national gymnastics team, filed a lawsuit against Nassar last week.

He claimed that he was 16 when Nassar sexually abused and harassed him while treating him in his basement for a shoulder injury.

Moore alleged in the lawsuit — obtained by USA Today — that Nassar treated him “through acupuncture in his pubic area and in and around his genitalia,” while exposing him in front of a young female gymnast.

“Coming out of the treatment, I felt very uncomfortable,” Moore told Today on Tuesday. “I hope he rots in hell.”

Since that incident, in 2016, more allegations began to surface and pile up about Nassar’s history of sexual abuse with gymnasts, including Moore’s older sister Kamerin. She had mentioned her brother while on the stand at Nassar’s sentencing in January.

“Me and my sister shouldn’t be able to relate over the fact that we’ve both been abused,” said Mr Moore, now a student at the University of Michigan.

Mr Moore is no longer staying silent in hopes this will never be repeated.

“I hope it never happens again,” he said. “No one should have to go through this. To come out and do the right thing, that’s really important to me.”

In a press conference, Moore said he doesn’t want other male victims to be too scared to come out and report abuse because of the “stigma that guys can’t be sexually abused or taken advantage of”.

Nassar, who previously served as the doctor for USA gymnastics and Michigan State, has been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison on child pornography charges and twice sentenced to state prison in Michigan for at least 40 years for sexual assaults.

Other gymnasts to accuse Nassar of sexual abuse include Olympians Aly Raisman and Simone Biles. Raisman has since sued the US Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics, claiming they were or should have been aware of Nassar’s behaviour.
