Larry Nassar Loses Final Appeal In Sex Assault Scandal

58-year-old Nassar pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting over 150 young gymnasts and other athletes and will spend the rest of his life in prison.

The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday rejected a final appeal from sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was sentenced to decades in prison for sexually assaulting gymnasts, including Olympic medalists.

Attorneys for Nassar said he was treated unfairly in 2018 and deserved a new hearing, based on vengeful remarks by a judge who called him a “monster” who would “wither” in prison like the wicked witch in “The Wizard of Oz.”

“I just signed your death warrant,” Ingham County Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said of Nassar's 40-year sentence.
