A former sports doctor accused of molesting several girls while working for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University pleaded guilty to seven charges of criminal sexual conduct on Wednesday.
Larry Nassar entered the plea during a hearing in Michigan's Ingham County on Wednesday. Nassar, 54, was charged with molesting seven girls, all but one of whom were gymnasts, mostly under the guise of treatment at his Lansing-area home and a campus clinic. He faces lawsuits filed by more than 125 women and girls.
Nassar asked to make a statement and said he was pleading guilty to help the community begin to heal.
"For all those involved, [I'm] so horribly sorry," Nassar said. "This was like a match that turned into a forest fire, out of control. And I pray the rosary everyday for forgiveness ... I want them to heal. I want this community to heal. I have no animosity toward anyone. I just want healing. It's time."
