Outrage Erupts as Larry Nassar Removed from Sex Offender Registry

Disgraced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is among the more than 20,000 people whose names have been removed from Michigan’s sex offender registry.

The controversial move comes after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled on September 9 that the state cannot retroactively apply its current registration requirements to those who committed sex offenses before July 2011.

Nassar, 63, is currently serving a 40- to 175-year prison sentence for sexually abusing hundreds of young girls during his time with USA Gymnastics and as the team doctor at Michigan State University. He is also facing 60 years in prison due to additional child pornography charges.
