Texas Governor Calls for Karolyi Ranch Investigation After Larry Nassar Scandal

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott reportedly sent a letter to the Texas Rangers—the state's public safety agency—and asked for an investigation into the Karolyi Ranch near Houston in the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal.

Dan Murphy of ESPN.com reported the news Tuesday, noting multiple women who spoke at Nassar's weeklong sentencing hearing said he sexually assaulted them at the training ground that was used by USA Gymnastics.

Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sexually assaulting girls and women as a doctor for United States Gymnastics and Michigan State University.

Murphy noted USA Gymnastics ended its relationship with Karolyi Ranch during the sentencing hearing.
