He began working as an assistant professor at MSU’s Department of Family and Community Medicine in the College of Human Medicine in 1997, where he earned $100,000 a year.Nassar is listed as a co-author on at least six research papers on the treatment of gymnastics injuries.
While some gymnasts have said they complained in the 1990s about Nassar’s behavior, it was not until 2015 that USA Gymnastics took action against him. The organization cut ties with Nassar “after learning of athlete concerns.” In September 2016, The Indianapolis Star reported that Rachael Denhollander and another former gymnast had accused Nassar of sexual abuse. He was fired by Michigan State on September 20, after having been reassigned from clinical and teaching duties a month earlier.
Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney, using the #MeToo hashtag on Twitter, said that Nassar had repeatedly molested her from 2008, when she was 13 years old, until she retired from the sport eight years later in 2016.Maroney subsequently filed a lawsuit against Nassar, Michigan State University, the United States Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics.The lawsuit accused USA Gymnastics of covering up the sexual abuse by requiring her to sign a non-disclosure agreement in her $1.25 million settlement. Maroney’s attorney John Manly called Nassar a “paedophile doctor”.
Nassar was arrested on December 16, 2016 after the FBI found more than 37,000 images of child pornography and a video of Nassar allegedly molesting underage girls. He was denied bail and was ordered to remain in federal prison.On April 6, 2017, his medical license was revoked for three years.Nassar pleaded guilty on July 11 to receiving child pornography in 2004, possession of pornographic images of children dating from 2004 to 2016, and tampering with evidence by destroying and concealing the images. Judge Janet T. Neff sentenced Nassar to 60 years in federal prison on December 7, 2017.
In late July 2018, it was reported that Nassar was seeking a new sentencing hearing due to concerns of perceived bias by Judge Aquilina,but his request was later denied by Eaton County Judge Janice Cunningham.
In 2019, HBO released a documentary about Nassar’s serial sexual abuse and subsequent coverups by the various institutions he worked with, titled At the Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal. The 2020 Netflix documentary Athlete A is also based on Nassar’s scandal and crimes. Later that year, Nassar’s request for a sentencing hearing for the Ingham County charges, in addition to the accusations of Judge Aquilina being biased, were rejected by the Michigan Court of Appeals.
