Ex‑US Olympic gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar has been sentenced to 40 to 175 years after testimony from nearly 160 victims.

The judge dismissed Nassar's attempted apology as insincere, saying he would @be in darkness for the rest of his life.

Nassar pleaded guilty to 10 counts of sexual assault against girls and young women, including Olympians.

The 54‑year‑old had already been sentenced to 60 years for possession of child pornography.

Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told Nassar during the sentencing that as much as it was her honour and privilege to hear the sister survivors, it was her honour and privilege to sentence him.

She says he does not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again and that she has just signed his death warrant.
