For 18 years, he was the team doctor of the United States women’s national gymnastics team, where he used his position to exploit, deceive, and sexually assault hundreds of children and young women.
Nassar’s sexual abuse of young girls and women and the subsequent cover-up led to the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal that began in 2015, alleging that Nassar repeatedly sexually assaulted at least 265 young women and girls under the guise of medical treatment. His victims included numerous Olympic and United States women’s national gymnastics team gymnasts.

Nassar was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison on December 7, 2017, after pleading guilty to child pornography and tampering with evidence charges on July 11, 2017.
On January 24, 2018, Nassar was sentenced to an additional 40 to 175 years in Michigan State Prison after pleading guilty in Ingham County to seven counts of sexual assault.
On February 5, 2018, he was sentenced to an additional 40 to 125 years in Michigan State Prison after pleading guilty to an additional three counts of sexual assault in Eaton County.
On the orders of the judge in charge of the federal case, his state prison sentences are to run consecutively with his federal sentence, ensuring a de facto sentence of life imprisonment without parole.
Nassar will be transferred to a Michigan state prison when he is released from federal custody; his two state sentences will be served concurrently. He is a central figure in the 2020 film Athlete A, a documentary about the scandal.
