News Alert: Dad lunges at Larry Nassar in courtroom
The father of three daughters who were abused by Larry Nassar tried to attack the former doctor in an Eaton County, Michigan, court Friday before he was tackled and arrested by security.
Randall Margraves said he was a "Distraught father" and cursed at Nassar, but Judge Janice Cunningham told him that was not allowed in court. Ref. CNN.
I hope they don't prosecute the father, if I were there I would of probably have done the same thing. But don't worry dad I have the feeling Nasser will be looking over his shoulder a lot while in prison.

Raisman says Olympic coach might have known about Nassar abuse for years
Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman said a former Olympic coach, John Geddert, might have known about sexual abuse by former team physician Larry Nassar as early as 2011.
"We would talk about it amongst ourselves," she told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview that aired Thursday. "And one of my teammates described in graphic detail what Nassar had done to her the night before. And John Geddert was in the car with us and he just didn't say anything."
The exchange happened in 2011, five years before Nassar was caught, Raisman said. Geddert's lawyer did not respond to CNN's request for comment about that allegation.

How did Larry Nassar get away with molesting girls for so long? He ‘groomed’ colleagues, doctor says. It took nearly 30 years for Steven Karageanes, a former president of the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine, to understand how Larry Nassar used him as a pawn. “He groomed me for 28 years to help him commit sexual assault,” he said. Nassar had “devious, underhanded and sickening ... Machinations,” he said. Ref. USAToday.
FBI made 'fundamental errors' in USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar sex abuse case, DOJ watchdog finds. Officials with the Indianapolis FBI office violated agency procedures, made false statements and exhibited "Extremely poor judgment" in the handling of 2015 sexual abuse allegations against longtime USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, according to a new report from the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice. The inspector found that the Los Angeles FBI office also failed to take steps to prevent Nassar from harming others. Ref. USAToday.
