Nassar, the disgraced former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State athletic department physician, was recently sentenced to 40-175 years in prison for criminal sexual conduct.
At his sentencing in Ingham County, his victims were allowed to come forward and speak. Dozens of women, including Olympic gymnasts Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber and Mattie Larson, spoke about how Nassar's abuse affected them.
