GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Former Michigan State and USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to three federal crimes having to do with the possession of child pornography and his attempts to destroy evidence of those images last fall.
Nassar, 53, and his attorneys entered a plea agreement with the court last week. The agreement suggests sentencing guidelines that if applied by U.S District Judge Janet Neff would put the former doctor in prison for 22-27 years.
In addition to possessing child pornography, Nassar has been charged with 25 counts of criminal sexual misconduct in state court and has been accused of molesting more than 100 young women while acting in his role as an osteopathic doctor.
