Larry Nassar, the USA Gymnastics team physician who accrued 260 sexual-assault reports and 13 convictions before today, received his third and final sentencing early Monday in a Eaton County, Michigan, courtroom. Judge Janice Cunningham sentenced Nassar to an additional 40 to 125 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections, tacking on to his previous sentences of 60 years in federal prison for child pornography, and 40 to 175 years in the state’s Ingham County. Before the sentencing, Nassar said the nine days of victim-impact statements had “impacted me to my innermost core[...] With that being said, I understand now that it pales in comparison to the pain, trauma, and emotions that you all are feeling.” Nassar must first serve his federal prison sentence, then will serve his state prison sentences at the same time.
