Larry Nassar is a former American gymnastics doctor who gained notoriety for his widespread sexual abuse of young female athletes under the guise of medical treatment. Nassar was born on August 16, 1963, in Farmington, Michigan, and began working with the USA Gymnastics national team in the 1980s.Nassar's abuse took place over several decades, and he used his position of trust and authority to exploit the vulnerabilities of his victims. He targeted young gymnasts, often starting when they were children, and used various manipulative techniques, including invasive treatments and inappropriate touching, under the pretense of providing legitimate medical care.
He convinced many athletes and their families that his actions were necessary for their physical well-being and athletic success.The abuse came to light in 2016 when investigative journalists and former gymnasts, including Rachael Denhollander, spoke out about Nassar's misconduct. The revelations led to a flood of accusations from numerous gymnasts and other athletes, both current and former, who recounted similar experiences of abuse by Nassar.
The scale and magnitude of the abuse shocked the world and raised serious questions about the safety and accountability within gymnastics organizations.In 2017, Nassar was arrested and charged with federal child pornography offenses. During his trial, over 150 victims delivered powerful impact statements, sharing their traumatic experiences and confronting Nassar in court.
In January 2018, he was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for multiple counts of sexual assault. In addition to this sentence, he had already received a 60-year federal prison sentence for child pornography charges.
