A Michigan sports doctor is getting 60 years in prison for possession of child pornography charges.
Federal prosecutors sought a 60-year sentence Thursday for Larry Nassar, who had more than 37,000 images of child porn on electronic devices. He pleaded guilty in July to multiple federal charges regarding the content.
“Underneath this veneer lurked a predator,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Lewis said.
Olympians Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Gabby Douglas say they were victims when Nassar worked for USA Gymnastics and accompanied them at workouts or international events.Nassar is a “monster” who “left scars on my psyche that may never go away,” Maroney said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Janet Neff.
In a court filing, defense lawyers said Nassar “deeply regrets the pain that he has caused the community.”
The child pornography was discovered last year when Nassar was being investigated for assault.
