'I just signed your death warrant': Judge hits Larry Nassar with up to 175 years for sexual assault

Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics team physician who sexually abused more than 150 women — including Olympic gold medalists Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, and McKayla Maroney — has been sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison.

The sentencing took place Wednesday after more than 100 of his victims read emotionally-charged impact statements in court.

"I just signed your death warrant," Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told Nassar after delivering his sentence in a Lansing, Michigan courtroom. "I find that you don't get it, that you're a danger. That you remain a danger."
