A former Central Michigan University gymnast was one of more than 150 women who described the sexual abuse they experienced at the hands of disgraced sports medicine doctor Larry Nassar during his sentencing in Ingham County Circuit Court.
A former USA Gymnastics Medical Coordinator and osteopathic physician at Michigan State University, Nassar was sentenced Jan. 24 by Judge Rosemarie Aquilina to a maximum 175 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to seven counts of criminal sexual conduct.
Samantha Ursch, who attended CMU from 2007-2011, provided a victim impact statement on Jan. 19 to Aquilina.
Ursch told the court she was one of at least two CMU gymnasts who was assaulted by Nassar.
