Nassar scandal empowers victims to act.

The cockroaches are scrambling for cover. They’ve been discovered. The light is intense, and hot. There is nowhere to hide.

Bring down all the sinners and enablers complicit in the USA Gymnastics sex-abuse scandal involving Larry Nassar, the organization’s longtime team doctor.

The entire board of directors has resigned under pressure from the United States Olympic Committee, which is also under fire and could be facing a congressional investigation.

There should be no safe space at Michigan State, where Nassar worked as a faculty member. Athletic Director Mark Hollis and President Lou Anna Simon have already resigned under duress.

Let’s make sure the NCAA didn’t look the other way, either, over allegations of sexual assaults involving Michigan State athletes.

Let them feel the wrath and pain for what they did, or didn’t do. Please spread the news for those who haven’t heard:

The nothing-to-see-here officials at Michigan State, USA Gymnastics, the USOC and the NCAA are giving Jerry Sandusky and Penn State a run for gold at the podium of child molesters and enablers.

The short version of a very long and nauseating story is that Nassar may have skated on his crimes involving more than 150 children, adolescents and women had the brave victims not had the courage to speak out and raise their voices despite the hidden shame they felt.

Some rose to fame, including Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas and McKayla Maroney, while others just faded back to anonymity to deal with what happened to them.

But they all shined last week under this horrific backdrop, when 156 victims testified during Nassar’s sentencing hearing, when he was sent away to 175 years in prison.

“What these athletes did is show the world exactly how damaging that is to a human being,” said Nancy-Hogshead Makar, CEO at Champion Women, a nonprofit organization that provides legal advocacy for girls and women in sports.

“Most people in their lifetime will hear between five to 10 stories about someone being sexually assaulted in an emotional way. And here the whole country got to hear 156 stories back-to-back over seven days. And they were beautifully written. They were raw and emotional and powerful.

“We have never seen anything like that.”

Their voices will continue to be heard. Hogshead-Makar was among a group of advocates and victims appearing before Congress on Tuesday pushing for funding “The Safe Sport Act” that would make members of the Olympic movement and youth sports mandatory reporters, and require that they implement standard protections to protect athletes and other children from abuse.

The U.S. House approved the bill, which could gain approval from the Senate this week.

“It’s going to take a village to change a culture of sports that values emotional harm,” Hogshead-Makar said during a press conference Tuesday.

This is textbook cosmic pushback, empowering women who have found strength in the #MeToo movement. For every Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and Matt Lauer who are accused of using their celebrity and undue influence as predators, the world is now outing those like Larry Nassar, who thought the low-key profile would give him cover.

“What MeToo did was show everybody how ubiquitous sexual harassment and sexual assault is in women’s lives,” Hogshead-Makar said.

Now it is time for other enablers, those from USA Gymnastics, or anywhere else who ignored the complaints and allegations, to do the right thing: If you were in on the fix, you need to go. Pronto. Today. Pack up all your stuff, and get out of here, because you have no decency or moral compass.

“For so long, they put medals, reputation and money over the safety of athletes,” Raisman said Thursday on NBC News’ “Today.” “They’ve been quiet this whole time.”

And now the noise is unbearable.

As heinous as these crimes were, there was a very plausible way to deal with them: Get to the bottom of the allegations, and put Nassar on deep freeze in the meantime.

What we have now is a PR crisis. There is shame for everyone and every organization involved.

A bit of unsolicited advice: Brace yourselves for a likely avalanche of lawsuits. And keep those apologies and checkbooks handy.
