It is common to blame the victim. Happens all the time. I have some gymnasts on my Facebook page-- not going to say which ones-- but they are getting better organized as a force to stop men and perhaps women from taking sexual advantage of them.
That
60 Minutes segment on a gold medal winning gymnast was an eye opener.
Many of these women I do not think came forward until a few brave ones stuck their necks out.
