Former USA Gymnastics team doctor pleads guilty to abusing young athletes

USA Gymnastics has said it is "very sorry" that young athletes were abused by its former national team doctor Larry Nassar on the day he pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexual assault.

Having already pleaded guilty to federal charges for possessing child pornography, Nassar told an Ingham County circuit judge in Michigan on Wednesday that he was also guilty of abusing seven victims during his time as a doctor and osteopath at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics.
