LANSING, MI (AP)-- A seven-day hearing for a Michigan sports doctor ended with tears, hugs and applause after he was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for molestation allegations.
Kyle Stephens grew up as a friend of Larry Nassar's family and was the first victim to testify in court last year. She was glad to attend the sentencing and called it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch my monster be put away."
Nassar was sentenced Wednesday for molesting girls and young women at his Lansing-area home and his Michigan State University office. But the judge heard days of statements from more than 150 women and girls who said the abuse happened around the world.
Kaylee Lorincz was one of the last to speak in court. She later said she'd been crying all day but felt "so happy."
