INTRODUCTION On April 24, and May 8, 2019, the Sexual Abuse Survivors Committee (“Committee”) served the Debtor with two overly-broad document demands seeking a wide-range of documents without any time limits whatsoever. In total, the Committee sought over 102 categories of documents. As the Committee concedes in its Rule 2004 Motion, in slightly over a month, in three separate productions, USAG has produced documents or provided information in response to most of the categories of documents that the Committee sought. (Rule 2004 Motion ¶¶ 16, 22-23.) Of 2 the 102 different demands, only 14 remain unanswered. 1 The last four digits of the Debtor’s federal tax identification number are 7871. The location of the Debtor’s principal office is 130 E. Washington Street, Suite 700, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. 2 In Exhibit A to its Motion, the Committee lists 16 demands it contends are unsatisfied, but one of those demands is new, as the Committee admits, and as explained below, USAG has in fact responded to one of the demands already.

My mind often wanders back to a time when I was dancing my favorite roles in my favorite ballets, but something about that time is dark. What changed my memory of my happy-go-lucky childhood self? Sexual abuse. There is no denying that trauma is detrimental to every aspect of a survivor’s life, yet there is something vastly different about my story than that of most survivors. When I came forward about my abuse from Larry Nassar, I was believed. I was welcomed to speak. I was able to cry and yell in a courtroom and watch my abuser be sentenced to life in prison. This is not what most survivors experience, and I can’t imagine how different my journey would have been if I was not believed nor encouraged to speak up.

Abrams and Dr. Amanda Potts ISSN 0041-9915 (print) 1942-8405 (online) ● DOI 10.5195/lawreview.2020.775 http://lawreview.law.pitt.edu This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.

THE LANGUAGE OF HARM: WHAT THE NASSAR VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENTS REVEAL ABOUT ABUSE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Jamie R. Abrams* and Dr. Amanda Potts** ABSTRACT This Article examines 148 Victim Impact Statements that were delivered to the court in the Larry Nassar criminal sentencing. Larry Nassar was a doctor for the United States Gymnastics Association and an employee of Michigan State University who treated elite athletes, predominantly gymnasts. Nassar pleaded guilty to child pornography and first-degree criminal sexual misconduct charges in Michigan. His sentencing received worldwide attention as victims delivered impact statements describing the harm and betrayal of his conduct. Using corpus-based discourse analysis, this Article examines the complex strategies that the victims deployed to describe who Nassar was (a doctor, a monster, a friend), what he did (abuse, assault, pedophilia, “treatments”), and the harms that they suffered (pain, hurt, betrayal). It concludes by recommending more robust and holistic approaches to the naming and framing of sexual assault, more proactive policy uses of Victim Impact Statements in shaping systemic reforms, and greater law reforms to prevent systemic institutional sexual assault.
