Feds want 60-year sentence for gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar

Recent Posts, Sports

In a pre-sentencing memo, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Michigan asked a judge to sentence Larry Nassar to 60 years in prison, saying he’s a danger to society.

Nassar, 54, was already facing a minimum of 25 years in prison after pleading guilty in two state courts to sexually assaulting 10 girls.

Although Nassar pleaded guilty only to pornography charges in the federal case, prosecutors argued his long history as a sexual predator should be a factor in the sentence he will receive next week.

They quoted one of his victims as saying, “I became his real-life child pornography subject, his plaything and his experiment.”

The prosecutors have asked for six of Nassar’s victims or their relatives to speak at the federal sentencing, but have not identified them.

Nassar’s accusers include some of the biggest names in the gymnastics world. In recent weeks, gold medalists McKayla Maroney, Ali Raisman and Gabby Douglas have also said they were molested by him under the guise of invasive exams and treatments.
