HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The Latest on the investigation into allegations of criminal behavior by disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar at a famed gymnastics training center in Texas:
A former trainer who’s been charged with sexual assault involving an elite gymnastics center in Texas had various roles in training programs.
Debbie Van Horn worked alongside imprisoned sports doctor Larry Nassar. She was indicted Friday on one count of second-degree sexual assault of a child. Asked for specifics about the allegations against Van Horn, Walker County District Attorney David Weeks said only that she was charged as “acting as a party” with Nassar.
News releases posted in recent years on USA Gymnastics’ website show the 63-year-old Van Horn was part of a youth development camp for gymnasts in 2016.
She was involved with the care of athletes on the 2014 JumpStart National Team for athletes ages 8-10.
She also was listed as a member of the USA Gymnastics Medical Task Force, which was started in 2013 to provide leadership and oversight of athlete care.
