Where Is Larry Nassar Now After The USA Gymnastics Scandal?

The HBO documentary, At The Heart Of Gold: Inside The USA Gymnastics Scandal , just premiered Friday, over two years after USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, who the documentary focuses on, was first accused of sexual misconduct.

Since then, hundreds of women (including Olympic gymnasts Aly Raisman and Simone Biles ) have come forward with stories of sexual abuse disguised as "medical treatments"-150 of whom confronted him while on trial for those crimes.

So what happened to Nassar? Just over a year ago, in February 2018, he was sentenced to 40-175 years in prison for various sexual abuse charges, to be served after a separate 60-year sentence for child pornography, according to CNN . That means hell serve at least 100 years in prison-effectively a life sentence. (You can see the powerful moment the judge delivered the sentencing to him in the trailer for At The Heart Of Gold below.)

Though much of Nassars abuse took place at the famed Karolyi ranch and training facility in Texas (owned by Bela and Martha Karolyi, the famous USA Gymnastics coaching duo), he was tried in Michigan, where he also committed abuse at John Geddert's Twistars USA Gymnastics Club, Michigan State University, and his home (which he shared with wife Stephanie ) in Holt, Michigan.

Nassar is currently serving his time at Coleman II U.S. Penitentiary, located about 50 miles northwest of Orlando, Florida. He was transferred there after being physically assaulted at his former prison in Tucson, Arizona, only hours after being released to the general prison population, according to the Washington Post .

The Florida penitentiary is known for being a safer prison for inmates who are likely to be attacked in other prisons (like informants and sex offenders), and houses a number of high-profile inmates like notorious ex-mobster James Whitey Bulger, per the Washington Post.

Nassars attorneys have argued that Ingham County Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who sentenced Nassar, holds some blame for his attack, saying she made efforts to demonize Dr. Nassar in front of the entire world, openly lamented that she could not impose cruel and unusual punishment upon the defendant and indicated her expectation that he would be harmed in prison.

His attorneys also tried to have Judge Aquilina removed from hearing Nassars appeal for a new sentence, which she denied, telling the court , This is not Burger King-he will not have it his way.

The Michigan Supreme Court recently denied two of Nassars appeals to challenge his molestation charges, per the LA Times, and now, Nassar is pursuing additional appeals that involve alleged bias in remarks made by Judge Aquilina.
