LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State president Lou Anna Simon said her schedule wouldn't allow her to be at Larry Nassar's sentencing hearing Thursday, according to a woman assaulted by the serial sexual predator on the university's campus.
Larissa Boyce, a former youth gymnast who says she told the Spartans' gymnastics coach about Nassar sexually abusing her in 1997, was scheduled to be the final woman to provide an impact statement in Ingham County court Thursday afternoon. However, due to delays Thursday, she is now scheduled to speak Friday morning.
Boyce said she approached Simon as she was leaving the courthouse Wednesday and asked her to attend the hearing.
