For a second day, gymnasts and other victims of a disgraced former sports doctor stepped forward in a Michigan courtroom Tuesday to recount the sexual abuse and asked the judge for the maximum sentence.
Nearly 100 victims are expected to address the court during the four-day sentencing hearing for 54-year-old Larry Nassar.
Carrie Hogan, was a patient of Nassar while attending Michigan State University.
Helena Weick, went to Nassar as a 12-year-old.
Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who is expected to order a sentence on Friday, said the system had failed them.
Nassar admitted in November that he digitally penetrated 10 girls, mostly under the guise of treatment, between 1998 and 2015.
As part of plea deals in two adjacent Michigan counties, he said his conduct had no legitimate medical purpose and that he did not have the girls' consent.
