Former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to 60 years in prison on Thursday for child pornography.
Nassar, 54, who is also facing sentencing for sexually assaulting members of the women’s Olympics gymnastics team, pleaded guilty in July to three counts of possessing child pornography.
The pornography, which included more than 37,000 of images and videos depicting children as young as infants, was discovered last year while Nassar was under investigation for assault.
He was given 20 years in prison on each count by a judge at a court hearing in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
‘He has demonstrated that he should never again have access to children,’ U.S. District Judge Janet Neff said.
‘You have to wonder whether he felt he was omnipotent, whether he felt he was getting away with something so cleverly,’ Neff added.
They said he ‘deeply regrets the pain that he has caused the community.’
Nassar has also pleaded guilty to 10 counts of sexual assault in two other cases in Michigan, admitting that he abused young athletes under the guise of offering medical treatment.
