Lawrence Gerald Nassar, aged 58 as of 2021, is currently rotting away in federal prison in the state of Florida. Nassar was convicted on all counts of sexual misconduct and child pornography on the federal level as well as in the state of Michigan for abusing hundreds of young girls during his time as a doctor. But how exactly did we get here?

That is the burning question that all people who hear this story want to know. Also, how did we allow this to get this bad?

For many years, Larry Nassar was a very accomplished doctor that everyone thought very highly of. He was a veteran physician and seen as a key contributor when it came to the success and well-being of the US Gymnastics athletes. But, he had a very dark side that would only come to light by the power of a group of very brave women.

His Extensive Career

Larry Nassar always had an extreme passion for sports medicine. He was never a very accomplished athlete throughout his life, but he wanted to be involved in sports by being a team doctor.
