Former Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar sentenced to 40 to 175 years for sexual assault
In a sexual abuse scandal that has reverberated across the American sports scene, former Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced Wednesday to 40 to 175 years in prison for molesting young gymnasts and other athletes.
The punishment was handed down in a Michigan courtroom where Judge Rosemarie Aquilina had spent days listening to impassioned, angry statements from approximately 150 women - including Olympic champions - who had been victimized by Nassar.
"I've just signed your death warrant," Aquilina told him, noting that he would also be imprisoned 60 years
