Larry Nassar was convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of women and girls over the course of his career as a doctor. The exact number of his victims is unknown, but it is estimated to be over 500.

In 2017, Nassar pleaded guilty to seven counts of criminal sexual conduct in Michigan. He was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison. In 2018, he pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault in federal court and was sentenced to an additional 40 to 125 years in prison.

Nassar’s abuse of young girls and women was enabled by a culture of silence and secrecy in the gymnastics and sports communities. Many of his victims were afraid to speak out about the abuse because they feared they would not be believed or that their careers would be ruined.

The Larry Nassar case has had a profound impact on the gymnastics and sports communities. It has led to a number of reforms, including the creation of new policies and procedures to protect athletes from abuse. It has also raised awareness of the issue of sexual abuse in sports and encouraged other victims to come forward.
