Larry Nassar is the former face of the medical staff at USA Gymnastics who was accused of rampant sexual abuse masked as medical treatment.
Hundreds of athletes came forward, including one of the stars of the Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles.
He will spend the rest of his life in prison.
The scandal revealed the inner workings of a program that emphasized winning above all, including the physical and mental health of athletes.
