Larry Nassar
From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Nassar
Lawrence Gerard Nassar (born August 16, 1963) is an American convicted serial child molester who was the USA Gymnastics national team doctor and an osteopathic physician at Michigan State University.
Nassar’s cumulative criminal acts of sexual assault were the basis of the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal, in which he was accused of molesting at least 250 young women and 1 young man including a number of well-known Olympic gymnasts, dating as far back as 1992.[1] He has admitted to at least ten of the accusations.
In July 2017, Nassar was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges. On January 24, 2018, Nassar was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in a Michigan state prison after pleading guilty to seven counts of sexual assault of minors.[2][3] On February 5, 2018, he was sentenced to an additional 40 to 125 years in prison after pleading guilty to an additional three counts of sexual assault.[4] His federal and state sentences are to run consecutively, and he is currently serving his federal time at the United States Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona.[5][3]

Sexual assault accusations and convictions
Further information: USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal
In 2015, USA Gymnastics cut ties with Nassar “after learning of athlete concerns.”
In September 2016, The Indianapolis Star revealed that Rachael Denhollander and
another former gymnast had accused Nassar of sex abuse.[14] Michigan State fired
him on September 20; he had been reassigned from clinical and teaching duties
a month earlier.[15]
In February 2017, three former gymnasts—Jeanette Antolin, Jessica Howard and
Jamie Dantzscher—gave an interview with 60 Minutes in which they said that Nassar
had sexually abused them. The gymnasts also alleged that the “emotionally abusive
environment” at the national team training camps run by Béla and Márta Károlyi at the
Karolyi Ranch near Huntsville, Texas gave Nassar an opportunity to take advantage of
the gymnasts and made them afraid to speak up about the abuse.[16] Rachael Denhollander,
one of the first women to publicly accuse Nassar,[17] said in court in May 2017 that Nassar
sexually abused her on five doctor’s visits in 2000, when she was 15 years old.[18]
Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney, using the #MeToo hashtag on Twitter,
stated that Nassar repeatedly molested her, starting when she was 13 years old and until
she retired from the sport in 2016.[19] Maroney subsequently filed a lawsuit against Nassar,
Michigan State University, the United States Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics.[20]
The lawsuit accused USA Gymnastics of covering up the sexual abuse by paying Maroney
$1.25 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Maroney’s attorney, John Manly, referred
to Nassar as a “pedophile doctor”.[21]
During a 60 Minutes interview, Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman also said that Nassar
had sexually abused her.[22]
Raisman stated that Nassar molested her when she was 15 years old.[23] Gabby Douglas
was criticized by fellow Olympic teammate Simone Biles and others for sending a tweet that
they interpreted as criticizing Raisman and of “victim-shaming”,[23] stating that “dressing in
a provocative/sexual way incites the wrong crowd.”[24] Douglas later apologized for the tweet,[25]
and said she was also a victim of Nassar’s abuse.[26]
Former national team member Maggie Nichols accused Nassar of abusing her. She documented
the ways he “groomed” her by connecting with her on Facebook and complimenting her appearance
on numerous occasions.[27] According to court filings and interviews, it was Nichols and her coach,
Sarah Jantzi, who reported Nassar to USA Gymnastics officials on June 17, 2015, after the coach
overheard Maggie and another gymnast talking about Nassar’s behavior.[28] Simone Biles came
forward shortly after with accounts that she too had been sexually abused by Nassar,[29] and
Jordyn Wieber made a statement at Nassar’s court sentencing in which she also accused Nassar
of sexually abusing her during her time at USA Gymnastics.[30][31]
In November 2016, Nassar was indicted on state charges of sexual assault of a child from 1998 to 2005;
the crimes allegedly began when the victim was six years old.[32] Ultimately, he was charged with 22
counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with minors: fifteen in Ingham County and seven in
neighboring Eaton County.
The allegations asserted that Nassar had molested seven girls under the guise that he was providing
legitimate medical treatment at his home and at a clinic on the MSU campus.[33]
Nassar was arrested by the FBI in December 2016 after agents found more than 37,000 images of
child pornography and a video of Nassar molesting underage girls.[34] On April 6, 2017,
his medical license was revoked for three years.[35]
On July 11, 2017, Nassar pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography in 2004, possession of
pornographic images of children dating from 2004 to 2016, and tampering with evidence by
destroying and concealing the images. On December 7, 2017, U.S. District Judge Janet T. Neff
sentenced Nassar to 60 years in federal prison.[5] If he survives that sentence, he will be on
supervised release for the rest of his life.[5]
On November 22, 2017, Nassar pleaded guilty in Ingham County Circuit Court to seven counts
of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with minors under the age of sixteen. He admitted
molesting seven girls, three of whom were under the age of thirteen. On November 29,
he pleaded guilty to an additional three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in
Eaton County.[36] As of January 18, 2018, 135 women had accused Nassar of sexual assault
while he worked for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University.[37] During the following
week, the number rose to 150.[38] In a lawsuit that was filed in April 2017, a woman claimed
that Nassar had sexually assaulted her while he was still in medical school in 1992.[1]
On January 24, Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina sentenced Nassar to
40 to 175 years in prison for the sexual assault of minors.[2] Aquillina allowed Nassar’s
accusers to present extended victim impact statements and dismissed objections raised to
this move by Nassar.[37] In sentencing, the judge informed Nassar that he had missed numerous
chances to receive treatment for his sexual urges; Nassar had been aware of these urges from
a young age. She added that there were likely dozens of additional victims who had not come
forward. She made it clear that she did not intend for Nassar to ever be free again.[3]
Nassar was practicing without a Texas medical license while he worked at the Karolyi Ranch
in Huntsville. According to gymnast McKayla Maroney, this is the place where Nassar molested
young women for over 15 years. The practice of medicine without a license in Texas
is a third-degree felony, although it is rarely prosecuted.[39]
On January 31, a Michigan judge stated that thus far 265 girls had accused him of sexual
misconduct.[40]
On February 5, Eaton County Circuit Judge Janice Cunningham sentenced Nassar to 40 to 125
years in prison for the three counts of criminal sexual assault to which he had pleaded
in November.[41] Nassar apologized for his years of abuse, saying that the impact his victims’
statements had on him “pales in comparison” to the suffering he inflicted on them. Cunningham
was unmoved, saying that she believed Nassar was still in “denial” about the “devastating impact”
of his crimes.[4]
The Eaton County sentence will run concurrently with the Ingham County sentence. In turn,
Nassar’s state sentences will begin upon completion of his federal child pornography sentence;
Neff had ordered that any sentences imposed at state level run consecutively with the federal sentence.[5][3][41]
As a result, Nassar will serve a minimum of 100 years in prison; each individual sentence would
have been enough by itself to all but assure that he will die in prison.[4]
Nassar, Federal Bureau of Prisons Register #21504-040, was transferred to United States Penitentiary
in Tucson, Arizona in February 2018.[42] Earlier, he had been transferred from a Michigan county jail
to the federal detention center at FCI Milan near Milan, Michigan. His earliest possible release from
federal custody will be March 23, 2069, by which time he would be 105 years old.
