MICHIGAN: Disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar faced a sentence of life in prison Wednesday for sexual abuse after a week of gut-wrenching victim impact statements from dozens of girls and women he treated. Nassar, who had also been employed for decades by Michigan State University, has already been sentenced to 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges. USAG, Michigan State University, and society all failed to keep us safe,” she said. Like star gymnast Aly Raisman, many victims have criticised not just Nassar’s actions but the inaction of US Olympics and gymnastics officials, and Michigan State University. “Survivors courageously came forward sharing stories of sexual abuse and alleging organizational mishandling,” Raisman wrote on Twitter.
