HUNTSVILLE, Texas –Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is calling for an investigation into accusations that staff at a former USA Gymnastics National Team Training Center sexually assaulted athletes. 

The Karolyi Ranch in Walker County is under investigation by the Walker County Sheriff’s Office and Texas Rangers for potential criminal conduct.

Abbott said athletes who trained at the facility are speaking out about what went on. Investigators will fully vet each of the sexual assault claims made by the athletes.

According to Abbott, criminal claims have been made across multiple states against the gymnastics center.

"The public statements made by athletes who previously trained at the Karolyi Ranch are gut-wrenching," said Abbott. "Those athletes, as well as all Texans, deserve to know that no stone is left unturned to ensure that the allegations are thoroughly vetted and the perpetrators and enablers of any such misconduct are brought to justice. The people of Texas demand, and the victims deserve, nothing less."

A full investigation will be conducted by the Texas Rangers.

The Karolyi Ranch website said the facility is now permanently closed after 35 years of business.
