Former USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar jailed for up to 300 YEARS for sexually assaulting scores of young athletes

Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told the beast she had 'just signed his death warrant'  because he 'did not deserve to walk outside a prison ever again'

FORMER USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has been sentenced to an extra 125 years in prison.

Nassar, 54, was last week jailed for up to 175 years after he was convicted of sexually assaulting scores of young women.

Today he was sentenced to an additional 40 to 125 years in jail for a further three sex offences.

Earlier the disgraced doctor had apologised to the court after hearing harrowing victim accounts, saying it had "impacted me to my innermost core."

Nassar added: "With that being said, I understand now that it pales in comparison to the pain, trauma and emotions that you all are feeling."

Last week Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told the beast she had "just signed his death warrant" because he "did not deserve to walk outside a prison ever again".

A prosecutor had earlier said Nassar found competitive gymnastics to be a "perfect place" for his crimes because victims saw him as a "god" in the sport.

"It takes some kind of sick perversion to not only assault a child but to do so with her parent in the room," prosecutor Angela Povilaitis said, and "to do so while a lineup of eager young gymnasts waited".

She described the "breadth and ripple" of Nassar's sexual abuse as "nearly infinite".

"What does it say about our society that victims of sexual abuse have to hide their pain for years when they did nothing wrong?

"What does it say about our society when victims do come forward ... and are treated as liars until proven true?" Ms Povilaitis said.
