CONVICTED serial child molester Larry Nassar has been stabbed multiple times while behind bars.
The former United States women’s national gymnastics team doctor was stabbed during an altercation while in a Florida federal prison.
Nassar’s attack by a fellow inmate took place on Sunday at United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida, sources told the Associated Press.
One source said Nassar was stabbed in the back and the chest.
He is in stable condition as of Monday, the outlet reports.
Nassar, reportedly victimized over 250 female athletes, going back decades.
He admitted to sexually assaulting athletes during his employment at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics.
He also separately pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.
His expected release date from federal custody is January 30, 2068.
Afterward, he will be immediately transferred to a Michigan state prison to serve out his consecutive state sentence of 40 to 175 years, which will run concurrently with the other state sentence of 40 to 125 years, before being eligible for parole.
VICTIMS SLAM INVESTIGATION
On September 15, 2021, gymnasts testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee on the FBI’s mishandling of their allegations against Nassar.
In his opening statement, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Durbin called the FBI’s handling of the case “a stain on the bureau.”
“In the 15 month period that FBI officials shirked their responsibility, Nassar abused at least 70 young athletes.
“For many of them, this was a continuation, but for others, they were abused for the first time while the FBI sat on the case,” Durbin said.
A distraught Simone Biles accused the FBI of turning a blind eye to the sexual abuse committed by the disgraced sports doctor.
The seven-time Olympian broke down and had to pause to regain her composure as she testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“It feels like the FBI turned a blind eye to us,” Biles said
“I don’t want another young gymnast or Olympic athlete to experience the horror I and hundreds of others have endured. How much is a little girl worth?”
