Jordyn Wieber read a statement at Larry Nassar's sentencing hearing, adding her name to one of over 140 people who were sexually abused by the former USA Gymnastics doctor. Wieber had previously not come forward publicly.



During her statement, Wieber expressed her disappointment in USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee not taking accountability.



Wieber is a Michigan native who trained at club gym Geddert's Twistars, a gym where Nassar worked. 

Aly Raisman, who previously came forward publicly, accompanied Wieber in court. Raisman initially said she would not be attending the sentencing but is now expected to make a statement. 



At first, 88 victims were expected to read statements. The count is now at 117.
