LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A judge sentenced ex-Michigan State gymnastics coach Kathie Klages to 90 days in jail plus probation for lying in a Larry Nassar-related case.
Klages, 65, was in February found guilty of a felony and a misdemeanor in a Lansing courthouse where Nassar was sentenced more than two years ago. Klages faced up to four years in prison. She was the second person other than Nassar to be found guilty of charges related to his serial molestation of young women and girls under the guise of medical treatment.
Klages resigned in 2017 after she was suspended for defending the since-imprisoned Nassar.
