Larry Nassar sentenced to 100 years minimum for sex abuse scandal

[larry100]

Larry Nassar was sentenced Monday to 40 to 125 years in prison, ending a remarkable three weeks of court hearings that dramatically personalized the pain and suffering the former doctor caused for years.

Nassar apologized to the court as part of his sentencing hearing in Eaton County, Michigan, saying that victim statements had "impacted me to my innermost core."

1. Who is Larry Nassar?

2a. Judging from your username, Are you Larry Nassar and speaking to us in Prison?

2b. If you are not you picked quite a topic to make your first thread on.

That's really long. The world will have changed a lot by the time he gets out.

Guilty pleas usually take the death penalty off the table, and we've got a bad habit of downplaying sexual assault.

Even when it's a guilty plea for Child Pornography and molesting upwards of 250 children left in his care.

Fuck that guy. He's lucky we live in a nation of laws.

The problem is when the judge said it was her privilege to sentence him to die in jail she may have violated the impartiality rules of being a judge, going from justice to vengeance. And any good appeals lawyer will bring that up and have his sentence cut in half or a new trial ordered, arguing the judge was against him, rather than pro-justice.

Lucky? I would have rather received the bullet than 'live' and ultimately die in prison. In a life without hope you just exist, like a zombie. It's a punishment I personally consider way worse than death. And much more expensive for the taxpayer as well. Life sentences is just a cruel form of torture and pointless on all fronts.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Normally, I find sentences like that to be hilariously stupid, but in that guy's case?

Fuck him.

His 'apology' wasn't an apology at all. He's just mad that he got caught and the whole line about 'no one will understand what my life will be like now and the pain I'm going through' is utter horse shit. After having 156 or so victims and charges, he's lucky that he only got 100 years.

Doesn't it cost a lot to execute someone due to legal obstructions and checks. Also, doesn't American society think that people live like kings in jail

Yeah, the death penalty rally means being locked up for years or decades, with the promise of execution maybe at some point.

I sentence you to 10 consecutive life sentences!

Good. Kiddie fiddlers are dangerous and clearly he'll be a predator once more the second he is released.

Economic determinism delivers the number and extent of robberies or burglaries, but crimes of this nature are uniquely predicated solely upon the experiences and problems of the mind of the offender. The real question is after 200 offences, what exactly were all those parents or the police doing to not apprehend and prosecute this person sooner?

After over 200 cases, it seems as if a systemic failure of safeguards at that point. As in all the people that should have cotton on didn't.

The sheer level of abuse and destruction he committed deserves little belief in the capacity for rehabilitation.

The obvious answer to that is the parents wanted their kid/s in the Olympics so that they could brag "My kid/s have been in the Olympics" and if they happened to win a gold medal then they would had that to brag about as well even though they did nothing of worth themselves. The whole case stinks of "stay stum if the results are worthwhile" even if its at the expensive of their kids.

I severely doubt that the kids did not report or confide in their parents about what he has been doing until now especially if it has been that harrowing a time for them and left a permanent scar on their lives. I mean I suspect the idiot of the father who tried to get the judge to give him time with the guy in a locked room as a part of his sentence probably knew fully well what was happening after he sent three of his daughters to the same place. Am I meant to believe that they didn't beg their dad at any point to not send them back again or to not send their sisters at all even if they didn't mention this was going on?

I'd say that is more than fucking accurate, and honestly after my experiences dealing with "parents" it wouldn't surprise me. Unfortunately, I imagine launching an additional investigation into the possibility of kids telling their parents this and simply being ignored is probably out of the question?

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts in a fairer world a lot of these "parents" would be joining this shitstain in a prison somewhere with a more comprehensive investigation.

This guy isnt going to die of old age. The inmates will take care of him like theyve done for many pedos before him.

But she's a Judge, delivering the people's judgement on a criminal that is both confirmed to have committed the crime and will *puts on sunglasses* do the time, I think she's allowed a little bit of scorn once the sentencing by jury is done and the punishment decided on.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

The guy is human scum and does not deserve to draw a single breath of air in freedom ever again.

Now I want them to expand the investigation and put everyone who ever enabled this guy in cages too.

If you start going after this guy's friends who enabled him to continue his behavior? Than would you expand it to arrest the enabler's families and friends aswell?

Do we have also have to arrest Larry Nassar's family members down to distant cousins twice removed?

When does it end?

 

[McElroy]

He kept up his sexual abuse for years - doesn't matter how many victims he had. Adding up sentence time is dumb. The crime should be "continuous abuse" and if that's irredeemable then off you go to jail until hell freezes over. Begs for a damn good look at all the conditions that enabled this shit.

It ends with the people who directly enabled him? An accomplice to a crime is still a criminal under law.

This isn't some crazy idea here. People who allowed this monster to assault children for whatever reasons deserve to sit alongside him in jail. They won't end up getting the same sentence as him because they didn't commit the actual act, but they deserve long lockups for giving this predator the ability to continue his attacks.

Also between this post of yours and your original one in the thread, I almost get the feeling like you have a problem with how this shitstain is receiving his punishment.
