US Doctor sentenced to 175 years

Olympics doctor Larry Nassar has been sentenced to up to 175 years for sexually abusing young gymnasts in his care. 

“You do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again,” Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said in the Ingham County, Michigan, courtroom where Nassar was forced to listen to victims for seven days before learning his fate.

As she read his sentence on Wednesday, said Nassar’s decision to assault was “precise, calculated, manipulative, devious and despicable”. 

She told him: “It is my honour and privilege to sentence you. You do not deserve to walk outside a prison ever again... I’ve just signed your death warrant.”

“I just signed your death warrant,” she added.
