Larry Nassar case: USA Gymnastics doctor 'abused 265 girls'

31 January 2018

The number of known sexual abuse victims of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has grown to 265, a Michigan judge has said.

At least 65 victims are set to confront Nassar, 54, in court this week in the last of three sentencing hearings, prosecutors say.

He was sentenced last week to 40 to 175 years in prison after nearly 160 women testified that he had molested them.

He was earlier sentenced to 60 years' prison for having child abuse images.
