LANSING, Mich. (AP) – Un medic renumit in gimnastica Larry Nassar l-a ascultat in tacere cand un procuror l-a considerat „posibil cel mai prolific agresor de sex in serie din copii” din istorie si un judecator l-a condamnat la zeci de ani de inchisoare pentru ca a molestat o parte din topul sportului. sportivi, in capul unei audieri extraordinare in timpul careia peste 150 de femei si fete si-au descris abuzurile.

Fostul medic sportiv care a recunoscut ca a molestat unii dintre cei mai buni gimnaste din tara de ani de zile, a fost condamnat miercuri la 40 pana la 175 de ani de inchisoare ca judecatorul a declarat: „Tocmai v-am semnat mandatul de moarte”.

“Tocmai v-am semnat mandatul de moarte”, i-a spus judecatorului Rosemarie Aquilina lui Nassar, care a fost condamnat miercuri la 40 pana la 175 de ani pentru ca a molestat tinerele sportive de sex feminin, sub pretextul acordarii unui tratament medical.

Multi s-au confruntat cu Nassar fata in fata in sala de judecata din Michigan, descriind abuzuri in casa sa, la biroul sau al Universitatii de Stat din Michigan si in timp ce lucra pentru organul de conducere al sportului, SUA Gimnastica, care antreneaza si olimpicii.

„Este onoarea si privilegiul meu sa va condamn. Nu meritati sa iesiti din inchisoare niciodata ”, a spus Aquilina, care si-a numit actiunile„ precise, calculate, manipulatoare, descurajatoare, dispretuitoare ”.

Ore mai tarziu, statul Michigan – care a solicitat avocatului general de stat sa efectueze o revizuire a modului in care universitatea a tratat cazul Nassar – a anuntat demisia presedintelui Lou Anna Simon pe fondul presiunii crescande. La inceputul zilei, CEO-ul Comitetului Olimpic al SUA a anuntat o ancheta independenta.

Cand sedinta de condamnare s-a incheiat, sala de judecata a izbucnit in aplauze. Victimele si procurorii s-au imbratisat la incheierea cazului infricosator de 16 luni.

Dar angoasa saptamanii trecute va avea un efect practic, daca este cazul, asupra soartei lui Nassar. Inainte de a executa pedeapsa din Michigan, varsta de 54 de ani trebuie sa indeplineasca mai intai o condamnare federala de 60 de ani pentru infractiuni de pornografie infantila. Cu credit pentru un comportament bun, el ar putea completa aceasta sentinta in aproximativ 55 de ani. Pana atunci, ar fi mai bine de 100 de ani daca ar fi inca in viata.

De asemenea, el este programat sa fie condamnat saptamana viitoare pentru mai multe condamnari de atac in judetul Eaton, Michigan.

Procurorul Angela Povilaitis a spus ca gimnastica competitionala a oferit „locul perfect” pentru crimele sale, deoarece victimele il vedeau ca un „zeu”.

“It takes some kind of sick perversion to not only assault a child but to do so with her parent in the room, to do so while a lineup of eager young gymnasts waited,” Povilaitis said.

She urged people to believe young victims of sexual abuse no matter who they accuse and praised journalists, including those at the Indianapolis Star. The newspaper’s 2016 investigation of how the sport’s governing body handled sexual abuse allegations against coaches prompted a former gymnast to alert the paper to Nassar.

Although Nassar’s work with gymnasts received the most attention, the allegations against him spanned more than a dozen sports over 25 years.

At one point, Nassar turned to the courtroom gallery to make a brief statement, saying that the victims’ accounts had “shaken me to my core.” He said “no words” can describe how sorry he is.

“I will carry your words with me for the rest of my days,” he said as many of his accusers wept.

The judge then read from a letter that Nassar had written to her that raised questions about whether he was truly remorseful. The victims who packed the courtroom gasped as they heard passages that included “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” and another in which Nassar said the “stories” about him were fabricated.

He also defended his actions with the athletes as “medical, not sexual.”

“I was a good doctor because my treatment worked, and those patients that are now speaking out were the same ones that praised and came back over and over, and referred family and friends to see me,” Nassar wrote.

One of the first athletes to publicly accuse Nassar of sexual assault was the last victim to offer a statement at the hearing.

Rachael Denhollander is a Kentucky lawyer who stepped forward in 2016 after USA Gymnastics was accused of mishandling sexual assault complaints. She said Nassar groped and fondled her when she was a 15-year-old gymnast in Michigan.

Denhollander’s statements to Michigan State University police put the criminal investigation in high gear in 2016.

“You have become a man ruled by selfish and perverted desires,” she told Nassar.

Nassar pleaded guilty to assaulting seven people in the Lansing area, including in the basement of his home and at his campus office. But the sentencing hearing was open to anyone who said they were a victim.

Accusers said he would use his ungloved hands to penetrate them, often without explanation, while they were on a table seeking help for various injuries.

The accusers, many of whom were children, said they trusted Nassar and were in denial about what was happening or were afraid to speak up. He sometimes used a sheet or his body to block the view of any parent in the room.

Several elite former gymnasts talked about how Nassar won their allegiance with candy, Olympic trinkets and encouraging words while they were under constant scrutiny from demanding coaches.

The judge praised the victims who appeared in her court, calling them “sister survivors.” The women included Olympians Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber and McKayla Maroney.

Sterling Riethman, 25, told Nassar that he might not fully grasp what he’s caused.

“You’ve created an army of warrior women,” she said. “This army doesn’t have a white flag to wave. There is no white flag to wave when it comes to protecting little girls and their future.”
