This s*cks big time. And we can only hope the other inmates will take care of Nassar. Even he knew no point in a trial.
But the reality is this is old news. We all know this cr^p happened. We know he is a vile disgusting person, who abused many. This is not new.
Her attorney was Gloria Allred that negotiated the non disclosure. She has a reputation for being a stereotypical greedy scumbag willing to take any case to suck as much money as possible. She was only interested in the paycheck, not what was best for McKayla. It’s good to hear McKayla now has a new attorney, one who seems more focused on what’s best for her as a victim.
JMO but I think tumbletimes4 summed her up pretty well.While I am not a fan of Allred's, this is a fairly serious mischaracterization of her motivations. Whatever one might say about her current attorney, John Manly, he certainly knows this field well, having built his career doing plaintiff-side litigation. But this is probably beginning to take us beyond the topic at hand.
I think the gray area or perhaps the question is.... How old was she when she signed the NDA vs how old she was when the assault(s) happened.Given the CA Code of Civil Procedure prohibition on NDNs in cases involving a minor victim, wouldn't Maroney have a cause of action against Allred for legal malpractice? I don't know how encouraging a minor client to sign an agreement that violates state law constitutes skillful and competent representation.

That it happened at all speaks to the failure. That more of what actually happened is being disclosed doesn't change it. It is part of the same story. That the SOB pleaded guilty and didn't even bother with a trial tells me they had a boatload more on him then we had heard. That wasn't a news flash to me. When his plea broke, I told my husband, they must of had a cr&p load of proof on him.I posted bc I did not know
a) that he had been placed under investigation and still allowed to treat girls. MSU allowed another dozen lives to be destroyed and I’m heartbroken.
b) that MM was pushed to sign a non-disclosure to settle, effectively gagging her. That’s on USAG.
So to me these stories speak more to the failures of the organizations to believe and protect young girls and women. I would argue that too is nothing new but should still be brought into the light.
I wasn't talking about the actual assault.What is relevant is the victim's age when the assault occurred. It also looks as if the victim's age doesn't matter if the offense could be prosecuted as a felony, but I didn't look up the particulars as to what constitutes a felony in CA.
