#timesup Doctor Larry Nassar sentenced to up to 175 Years in Prison

Dr. Larry Nassar, former USA Gymnastics team doctor, has been sentenced to between 40 and 175 years in prison, Guardian reports.


Nassar, who had pleaded guilty to molesting 7 girls in his custody, had a total of 156 girls and women testifying against him at his sentencing hearing. 24 other girls and women also sent private letters to the court, explaining how they too have been abused by Nassar.


“It is my honor to sentence you because, sir, you do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again,” Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who gave the judgement said. “Anywhere you walk, destruction would occur to those most vulnerable,” she added.
Nassar, giving a brief statement before the sentencing, said hearing his victims’ testimonies shook him to his core. He said:

Your words these past several days have had a significant emotional effect on myself and have shaken me to my core.
I will carry your words with me for the rest of my days.

Victims who testified included Olympic champions Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney,
Nassar is now serving a 60-year sentence in federal prison for possession of child pornography.
