Dr. Larry Nassar, a former athletic doctor at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison today. He pled guilty to seven counts of sexual assault in Ingham County court last November.
Last summer Nassar also pled guilty to federal charges for possessing thousands of images of child pornography. More than 120 women and girls tell MSU police that Nassar sexually abused them under the guise of treatment.
Nassar was fired from MSU in September 2016. The university has hired attorneys to investigate who knew what about the allegations against Nassar.
MSU says it has no plans to release that internal review.
Meanwhile,lawsuits against Nassar and the university allege that MSU officials have been receiving reports of abuse since 1999.
