Denhollander told police in 2016 that Nassar molested her when she was a 15-year-old gymnast. Dozens of other women later testified in court that Nassar had abused them too.

He pleaded guilty in November to molesting patients and possessing child pornography and was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.

The event will be moderated by Harvard professor and developmental psychologist Nancy Hill.
