Former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison on Wednesday in Ingham County Circuit Court in Michigan.

"Sir, you do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again," Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said. "I just signed your death warrant."

Nassar received his sentence after listening to 156 victim-impact statements over seven days, including powerful statements from Olympic medalists Aly Raisman and Jordyn Wieber, among others.
