Even though it was almost 20 years ago, Larry Nassar's accuser says she has lasting memories about when he sexually abused her.
"One memory that's most vivid, sitting on the smaller couch, and I was sitting there with my legs on the couch kind of like with my arms wrapped around them, and I remember him putting his hand between my legs and inserting his finger into my vagina."
The woman told the court she was about six years old when this started and she says it continued for years, but it wasn't until she was in middle school that she told her parents.
"There was no reason to tell my parents about something that I didn't know I needed to be talking about."
Her family was good friends with the Nassar's.
The accuser says her parents didn't believe her and over the next few years she only told a few people including her boyfriend and his mother. But she says she's positive it happened.
"Do you have any doubt that he did the things you described today?" asked the prosecuting attorney Angela Povilatis.
"No, none at all," responded the alleged victim.
Nassar's attorneys weren't sold. Shannon Smith argued since it had been so long, she wasn't convinced the accuser was credible.
But the judge interjected saying because the witness was overcome by emotion multiple times during her testimony, he thought it was clear she was telling the truth.
And the prosecuting attorney, and judge agree that it was enough to send it to circuit court.
"Her testimony supports the probable cause findings of those three counts, that the defendant committed those counts, and I ask this court to bound them over as such," states Povilatis.
