According to NBC News, prosecutors cannot charge the Karolyis or officials from USA Gymnastics for failing to report the abuse because the statute of limitations has expired:
But prosecutors said there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the Karolyis, and statutes of limitations prevented them from charging USA Gymnastics officials who didn’t immediately report suspected abuse to law enforcement.
That angered some Nassar victims who say the Karolyis and USA Gymnastics should be held accountable for failing to protect young athletes — some of them Olympic champions — who were under their supervision.
