Former doctor Larry Nassar transferred to prison in Tucson

PHOENIX — After being sentenced in Michigan, former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar has been transferred to a high-security prison in Tucson.

Nassar, 54, is officially listed as an inmate at the United States Penitentiary in Tucson, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

He worked at MSU and USA Gymnastics, the governing body that also trains Olympians. He was sentenced Jan. 24 to 40 to 175 years in prison for assaulting seven people in the Lansing area; more than 150 statements were given in that seven-day hearing.

He was also sentenced in December to 60 years in federal prison for possessing thousands of images of child pornography.

The judge, who presided over the case, said the number of people who alleged they were abused by Nassar topped 265.
