The judge presiding over ex-USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar’s third sentencing hearing said Wednesday that a total of 265 people have come forward to accuse the disgraced physician of abuse. Nassar is convicted of 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct and of child pornography in a separate case. In a hearing last week, at which he was sentenced to a maximum of 175 in prison, 156 women and girls claimed abuse by Nassar. “You took advantage of my innocence and trust,” 17-year-old Jessica Thomashow told Nassar on Wednesday. “How dare you.”
