  "summary": "US gymnastics coach Sean Gardner has been sentenced to 90 years in prison for secretly filming young female students undressing at a Mississippi gym. Gardner pleaded guilty to three federal child pornography production charges and was ordered to serve 30 years in prison for each charge. The case has reignited concerns about the safety of athletes in US gymnastics and questions about whether authorities have done enough to protect them from sexual abuse. Gardner has not been charged in connection with any allegations of misconduct in Iowa, but several former students have alleged he preyed on them. USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Center for SafeSport have faced criticism for not taking action against Gardner despite being aware of his behavior.",
