Among them, one young woman, McKayla Maroney accused the doctor of molesting her when she was just 13. Maroney who's a USA gymnasts gave a powerful statement confronting the abuser stating,

"As it turns out, much to my demise, Dr. Nassar was not a doctor. He in fact was and forever shall be, a child molester, and a monster of a human being. End of story! He abused my trust, he abused my body and he left scars on my psyche that may never go away.

Larry Nassar deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. Not only because of what he did to me, my teammates and so many other little girls—He needs to be behind bars so he will never prey on another child. I urge you to impose the maximum sentence upon him."

 Prior the sentence, Nassar had addressed all the women, apologizing for what had happened telling,

"Your words these past several days...have had a significant emotional effect on myself and have shaken me to my core."

He further added,

"I also recognize that what I am feeling pales in comparison to the pain trauma and emotional destruction that all of you are feeling. There are no words to describe the depth and breadth of how sorry I am for what has occurred. An acceptable apology to all of you is impossible to write and convey. I will carry your words with me for the rest of my days."

Before he further continued, Judge Aquilina stopped him and declared the sentence after reading his six-page long letter, where Lassar had raised concerns about his case being dragged as a "media circus."
