I wrote about Larry Nassar all the way back in April of last year, asking why his case wasn’t getting much media attention.
That has changed now, as the story of Nassar’s trial has made headlines across the nation. It’s hard to deny a story when 156 victims deliver impact statements, those victims including such high profile gymnasts as Simon Biles, Aly Raisman, and Kayla Maroney, who was paid hush money originally to stay quiet about Nassar’s abuse.
Yesterday Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, the judge who made sure that Nassar faced his victims, sentenced Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison.
