Former Michigan State and United States' gymnastic team physician Larry Nassar was sentenced to life imprisonment on Wednesday after he admitted to sexually abusing and molesting girls and women, who were receiving treatment from him. A Michigan state prison sentenced Nassar to a minimum of 40 years and up to 175 years, The Washington Post reported. More than 150 female athletes from the gymnastics team, who were allegedly molested by the physician, also gave their statements. Before he was sentenced, Nassar, in a statement, apologised to the victims, saying, "I apologise to the victims. There are no words that can express the depth and breadth of how sorry I am."
