Ex-USA Gymnastics doctor faces child sex charges

MASON, Mich. (AP) — A former USA Gymnastics team doctor has been charged in Michigan with first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a child under 13.

Online court records in Ingham County show three charges were filed Monday against Dr. Larry Nassar of Holt, Michigan. The alleged incidents occurred in 1998. The records don’t indicate whether the charges involve one victim or more.

A message seeking comment was left for Nassar’s attorney.

Nassar has been under scrutiny this year after two gymnasts, including a member of the 2000 U.S. women’s Olympic team, accused him of sexual abuse.
