Olympic medalists Jordyn Wieber and Jamie Dantzscher, and national team competitors Jeanette Antolin and Mattie Larson, were among more than 150 women and girls who accused Nassar.

"These are two of the best teams in the country, who come together to show their support and to show that we can be stronger together," said Liza David, UCLA's athletics spokesman. "So many athletes have been affected."

Larson won three medals at the U.S. National Gymnastics Championships in 2010. During Nassar's trial, she testified that she had been sexually abused by him since she was 14.

"Larry, you were the only one I trusted," she said. "In the end, you turned out to be the most terrifying monster of all."

Weiber, who won Olympic gold in 2012, said: "Although I am a victim, I will not live as such."

Nassar worked closely with the U.S. Olympic women's gymnastics teams, young athletes at Michigan State and a private gymnastics club.

The ex-doctor also pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in federal court, for which he was sentenced, in December, to 60 years in prison.
