MASON, Mich. (AP) — A judge has ordered a former Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics sports doctor to stand trial on sexual assault charges.
Judge Donald Allen Jr. issued his ruling at the conclusion of a hearing near Lansing in which a 25-year-old woman testified that she was repeatedly molested as a child by Dr. Larry Nassar.
Nassar is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He has pleaded not guilty.
The woman says her parents were friends with Nassar and the abuse happened from age 6 until age 12 during family visits to his home.
