The checklist consists of Robert Dean Head, a USAG coach in Kentucky who in 1992 pled responsible to raping a 12-yr-old, and Don Peters, the nationwide coach for the 1984 Olympic crew, who was banned in 2011 after two former gymnasts accused him of sexual abuse. In February 2017, three former gymnasts-Jeanette Antolin, Jessica Howard, and Jamie Dantzscher-gave an interview with 60 Minutes in which they accused Nassar of sexually abusing them. Paying for intercourse with a minor in Italy is punished within a range of six months to a few years' imprisonment, whereas the crime of malfeasance in office (Italian: concussione) is more severely punished, from four years to twelve years' imprisonment, as it is considered a sort of extortion committed by a public officer. Despite these and other occasional revelations concerning the sexual abuse of gymnasts, most of the people was unaware of the scope of abuse and the efforts to cowl it up until September 2016, when The Indianapolis Star began operating a series of articles primarily based on its eight-month investigation of the abuse. The breadth of the abuses was first revealed by The Indianapolis Star, which reported in September 2016 that "predatory coaches have been allowed to maneuver from gym to gym, undetected by a lax system of oversight, or dangerously handed on by USA Gymnastics-certified gyms".
