LANSING, Mich. (AP) – A Michigan judge sentenced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar to 40 to 175 in prison for multiple sexual assaults of women and girls.
At the Wednesday’s sentencing hearing, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told Nassar, “I just signed your death warrant.”
The sentence capped a remarkable seven-day hearing that brought more than 150 victims or their families to court, including Olympians.
They made riveting statements while confronting Nassar in a Lansing, Michigan, courtroom. He worked at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians.
Nassar had pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting seven females in the Lansing area between 1998 and 2015, but the hearing was open to all of his accusers.
His accusers said he would molest them while they were on a table seeking help for various injuries.
Nassar is currently serving a 60-year prison sentence for child pornography crimes.
