Ex-Gymnastics Doctor Gets 40-Plus Years for Abusing Girls
Nassar’s letter contrasted sharply with his prepared statement. He wrote that he had been treated unfairly in his federal child pornography case and that he was a “good doctor.” In an attack on his victims, he wrote that the same patients that had praised his treatment and returned to him time and time again were now speaking out against him.
“‘Hell hath have no fury like a woman scorned,’” the judge read to audible gasps from the courtroom.
After she had finished reading the letter, Aquilina tossed it aside like it was piece of trash. She almost dared Nassar to withdraw his plea and asked him if he was guilty.
After a long pause, Nassar replied: “I accept my plea.”
Aquilina called him “manipulative, devious” and “despicable.”
“I wouldn’t send my dogs to you, sir,” the judge added.
