Larry Nassar To Be Sentenced Again

  • 6 years ago

(Reuters) - Former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is scheduled to appear in a Michigan courtroom on Wednesday for a second sentencing hearing, after already being sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for abusing young female gymnasts who were entrusted to his care. Dozens of victims are expected to appear in court, as they did in the previous hearing, to tell a judge how Nassar abused them as young athletes under the guise of medical treatment. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid USAG said last week after Olympic officials threatened to decertify the organization as the sport’s U.S. governing body that its entire board had resigned, and sponsors have already backed away ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games.
