Michigan doctor gets 60-year prison sentence for child porn
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — An elite Michigan sports doctor who possessed child pornography and assaulted gymnasts was sentenced Thursday to 60 years in federal prison in one of three criminal cases that ensure he will never be free again.
U.S. District Judge Janet Neff followed the government's recommendation in the porn case, saying Larry Nassar "should never again have access to children."
Neff said Nassar's federal sentence won't start until he completes his sentences for sexual assault. The 54-year-old will get punishments in those two cases in state court in January.
Nassar worked at Michigan State University and at USA Gymnastics, the Indianapolis-based group that trains Olympians.
