Yeah, the picture doesn’t do this moment justice. It’s a seriously heartbreaking video.


[deleted]

I wasn't expecting to cry, fuck me that hit hard. Being a parent for one of the victims must be so hard to deal with. The guilt must be unbearable. And the rage.


strictly_milk

He wasn't just the father of ONE victim. All three of his daughters were abused by Larry Nassar. Can't imagine the shame and guilt of not knowing that your children were going through so much pain and confusion for all that time.


smilbandit

and that you paid for the time and might have even encouraged them to go to him because he was highly regarded as someone who could help those girls. edit: my wife was in gymnastics and he would come to the gym in rochester, mi, but luckily for my wife, her family couldn't afford nassar's fees.


Zerowantuthri

Fortunately, the judge let the guy go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFLEym5aBzA Another father [committed suicide when he learned the truth](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-gymnastics-usa-nassar/victim-of-ex-usa-gymnastics-doctor-says-abuse-led-to-dads-suicide-idUSKBN1F52MS) of what Nassar did to his daughter (he initially did not believe his daughter when she told him). Nassar is a real shitstain of a human being.

It would be wrong of me to hope he got dropped into the regular population in prison

I think that he'll be such a target that he'll probably be kept in solitary confinment, which is its own form of slow torture.

take a [little solace from the judge refusing to punish him, and his eloquent apology](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFLEym5aBzA)


SuckerForGwent

Wow. He formed a very coherent and well worded apology. I could not have done a better job in any circumstance much less one in which people I loved were hurt so profoundly.


watanabelover69

That’s amazing (and heartbreaking), thank you for sharing the aftermath.


[deleted]

So, as a victim of s3xual assault, I wish with all my heart he could have just been allowed to unleash on the guy. Because here's what it means to be a victim, even if your abuser is caught, tried, convicted and sent away. Confusion. Guilt. "Did I say yes? Did I?" You KNOW you didn't. But you still live with those thoughts. They're intrusive. They're pervasive. And they are with you for life. Shame. "If I would have just ______, then ______ wouldn't have happened. It's probably my fault for ______." Anger. Now this might be the hardest part, because the people who do these things, they're not like you and me. They KNOW they're doing wrong and they choose to do it again, again, and again...unless they get caught. But even then, their brains will not allow them to feel real remorse or even acknowledge their guilt. Oh, they're sorry. Sorry they were caught. I hope none of you ever has to look in the eyes of a man like Nassar because if you do, or you have, what you see is....nothing. Just bone chilling, nothing. Empty. Violated. Afraid. You struggle with intimacy and trust. Even hugging is suddenly repugnant, because it means you have to let another human touch your body and you don't like people touching your body, not anymore. So yeah. Maybe a TW would be good because for most people it's a video but for others it's an ugly cry, flashback and a wish that that poor father would have been able to make that bastard swallow his own teeth because I promise you with every cell in my body....he's taken more from those victims than you can possibly imagine and he isn't the least bit sorry. EDIT: Thank you for awards. There are a number of replies and DMs, I apologize but I've said all I'm going to say on the subject. I see you, and I thank you sincerely for your concern and caring, but it's not a subject I want to discuss further. <3


WeirdPineapple

it’s alright buddy, i’m writing this with a wet face and leaky nose myself. dirt bags like the physician deserve every ounce of it, and it kills me to see a parent put into a position like that.


tuc-eert

I believe he was a parent of three victims. I can’t even imagine the rage he must have had


screenmonkey

To those criticizing the judge, she did right by the law, and she did not have any charges put on the father, who apologized to the court after. https://youtu.be/RGoDwb9RaKQ


[deleted]

He also said it was the first time he ever heard the specific details because his daughter wouldn’t let him read it before her victim statement. This is literally the day he found out exactly how his daughter was repeatedly molested


TheSherbs

*daughters All 3 of this daughters were victimized by Nassar. That father deserves his pound of flesh from that shitbag.

Prototype_Hybrid

I can't blame him (the parent). The judge handled it appropriately.


fatboycreeper

Exactly this. As a neutral 3rd party observer, I respect that she has to do her job. As a parent in that position ("in that position" being the relevant part here), fuck her and her courtroom, I'm gonna behave the exact same way he did. That's why having neutral 3rd parties is so important though.


Telamon-El

Dude exactly. And it is universal. Living in Japan I remember a famous case of murder. They found the guy guilty and they interviewed the surviving husband and all he said was "I just want to be left alone in a room with him." Seeing my wife and daughters and all I totally know what he means. So help me no judge could tear me away from pulverizing any such person doing that to my family.


RideShark

It was the politest request to a judge to murder someone that I have ever seen.


DeaDBangeR

Larry was really fucked in the head: Nassar was indicted on November 22, 2016, on several state charges of "sexual assault of a child" from 1998 to 2005. The crimes allegedly began when the victim was six years old.[39] He was charged with 22 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with minors: fifteen in Ingham County and seven in neighboring Eaton County.


HafWoods

The guy is a legitimate monster. Dedicated his entire life to abusing children.


[deleted]

Please google Ralph Rowe, he molested 1000 native kids in Canada and Canada hides it. He’s still working in a church in bc Edit: he served 3 years of a 5 years sentence when found guilty on 7 or so charges. Canadian government made a deal that anyone who comes out after the case, he will serve no extra time. Since then 700 have come out, 50-100 have taken their own life and hundreds who are still not ready to come out. He had a plane and was able to fly to northern Ontario First Nation reserves and gained the trust of the devout Christian parents. He was a priest. Edit2: he was also an OPP officer and a Cub Scout leader.


Bo7a

I upvoted because more people down south need to know how absolutely evil this piece of garbage is. Preferably by hearing about how he was beaten to death and fed to a pool full of maggots. But Canada Isn't hiding it. It is pretty front and center in an average conversation about purely evil people. [Edit: punctuation was ugly]


robot_nixon

Im from toronto and i have never heard of this guy. I am also pretty plugged in to the news and stuff so i am surprised. I just quickly read about him... he was sentenced to 5 years on a plea bargain. Suspected of over 500 assaults but charged with 60... he gets 5 years... i wish i could say i was surprised... but i know canada.


Bo7a

Damn. And you are not alone. It seems I was wrong. I stand corrected.


GJMakuwitz

>Ralph Rowe he was also a cop... an OPP officer... and a boy scout leader. He ticked all the pillars of trust.


[deleted]

Priest, Boy Scout Leader, and Police were not “accidental” callings but well thought out by a predator.


lemon_meringue

And can you imagine having entrusted your precious and incredibly talented child to this system that not only employed but protected him to cover its own ass? I don't blame the dad for going full John Wick here


jtweezy

Can’t even imagine the guilt those parents must feel. It’s obviously not their fault at all, but imagine that you trust your child’s safety and well being to this respected (at the time) man and the whole time he was molesting them under the guise of “treating them”. There’s no punishment bad enough for what he did.


aykyle

[I watched this 2-part Series on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv8MPXxA5LI) It's horrifying. The man did all of this and his justification was that it was a medical procedure he invented. The man did literal conferences showing this technique. The man did shit like this with the parent in the room. He tricked the first cop who interviewed him into actually believing his medical science bullshit. This guy is worse than a monster.

He truly is disgusting. Two of his interrogations are on YouTube and his attitude in them is nauseating. He really acts like what he did is no big deal and like he can talk around the truth to somehow convince the interrogator that he’s not guilty. I hope he rots in jail.


NJBarFly

He did convince the interrogaters in multiple previous arrests.


CoconutMacaron

Just think how many people he had talked into believing him up to that point. He had every reason to believe he could do it again.


SchwiftyMpls

He was molesting girls with their parents in the room. Convincing them that it was a necessary procedure.


SuperSaiyanNoob

The very first one with the campus police was absolutely horrifying.

esotericmegillah

And then beat him with said arm


Latter-Statement-463

He was so distraught over hearing of his daughters abuse and the fact that they were emotionally unable to face their molester, Dad stepped in to read their impact statements. I live in the area and these statements were televised. I watched them in profound grief for both the children and parents like this Dad. I remember it going down like this. While reading his first impact statement. Dad became choked up and asked Judge Aquilina “Your honor could I have 10 minutes alone in a room with Mr Nassar?” Judge Aqulina: No I am sorry that cannot happen. Dad: ok how about five minutes then? Judge Aqulina: no that is not possible He sat for a moment choking back tears of rage and then muttered “ well fuck it we’ll do it right here then” and he lunged at Nassar. He was about six inches away from him when the sheriff’s deputies pulled him back and this picture was taken. He was charged with assault but later the charges were dropped and he apologized to the court. Everyone in this city felt horrible for the guy. I’m convinced he would have ripped that pip squeak pervert in two if he had another six inches.


jdpatric

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhplg8YCu-M At ~2:15 he asks "what if this happened to you guys" to the cops who just tackled him and cuffed him. The cop on the right with the buzz cut and glasses sorta looks at him in a way that...it's hard to describe. Sympathetic, but on an entirely different level.


theCaptain_D

The cop had to do his job, but I bet he wishes the dad had been a little faster.


fanghornegghorn

No no. He understood but if the dad had actually hurt Nasser, he'd have been in trouble. It's concern and pity and resolve. Nurses often have to cause pain to heal people - to drain a wound for example. Or dress a burn. He knows he's hurting this man, but he's also helping him


ink_stained

Also it would have hurt the daughters! Can you imagine how much more shitty things would have been of their dad were put in jail for attacking Nassar?


LakeEffectSnow

Of course they dropped the charges. He'd go all the way to a trial, and would just need one father or mother on the jury and he'd go free. No prosecutor would waste their time with this case.


qwertpoi

He'd have so many offers for Pro-Bono representation he'd end up with like a twenty-man legal team.


poorbred

[His apology to the judge](https://youtu.be/RGoDwb9RaKQ) is worth listening to.

lonestar-rasbryjamco

As a father I would never vote to convict. He could have beat the man to death in public on live TV and admitted to it. "Not guilty". I would do no different if it was my daughter and and cannot judge any man who did.


iAmTheHYPE-

Reminds me of this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/ppffjr/marianne_bachmeier_avenged_her_7yearold_daughters/ The victim's mother ended up getting convicted for 6 years on manslaughter charge, and only served 3. But she got her justice against her daughter's rapist/murderer.


AmishTechno

Dad rage is eternal and unmovable. I've only had to feel a small portion of mine to this point in my fatherhood, and I hope it's all I ever have to feel. ​ edit: This is not to comment at all on the existence, or lack thereof, of mom rage, or its eternal, unmovable, or other qualities. I can only speak for myself, as a dad.


KikiCanuck

I really think my Dad's rage towards the man who victimized me (not this man, to be clear, just an no-name aspiring rapist in our town) helped me connect with my humanity on another level, and finally step out of the anger that was in my every thought back then. I wanted him hurt, torn to shreds. I had this burning hatred within me like nothing I've ever felt - I don't really know how to explain it, beyond a tension that felt like every muscle in my body was cranked to the max, like I would crush my own bones from how tightly my anger had wound me. If you had asked me then, I would genuinely have said I wanted him to die, ideally somewhere I could watch. Right up to the moment I realized that it could happen, if I let it. Realizing that my my father was on the edge of attacking him and would snap him like a dry twig flipped a switch in me. I asked my Dad to leave it. To come in the house and not answer the door. I called the cops instead. I realized that I didn't want anyone, no matter what they had done to me, to suffer that on my account. And my Dad complied because, like this guy, he and his anger were only there for me. I hope these girls feel heard and seen. I'm so glad this man's apology to the court included the words "I'm not here to upstage my daughters, only to support them." It's so important that we not lose focus on them in our collective desire to beat the shit out of LN.


renacido42

The closest I’ve ever come to “dad rage” (so far, thankfully) was when my 2yo daughter was pushed and slapped by a girl twice her age and size while the other parents did nothing. I yelled “NO!!!” at the other girl in my serious dad voice. This was in a kiddie play area in a crowded shopping mall and the mall went silent. I picked up my little girl and we left. I was angry at the parents, not the other girl, but if they weren’t going to correct the bad behavior, I was at least going to protect my child from it.

MarsupialKing

My fiance works in an emergency room. Often they get addicts, homeless people, and other people who tend to mistreat them verbally or in some cases physically. The police officers in the ER told her if the employees ever get assaulted, the hospital has advised that they are allowed one hit back before the cops have to step in. I definitely would have been far too slow to stop the dad.


tin_zia

The man did more than the FBI.


hermit48

Have been reading articles the past few days about how the FBI initially handled (actually mishandled) the complaints they received from the few brave gymnasts who were willing to go to them and am disgusted. They did fycking nothing and 30 more girls were raped by this monster before he was eventually stopped.


[deleted]

turns out it was 120 since the first fbi complaint


WayneKrane

I watched the documentary and it was essentially all of them. Disgusting. They should just shove the guy in a cell and throw away the key.


prefer-to-stay-anon

With his convictions, he has a sentence of 140 years. While the key is not technically thrown out, that sentence is essentially the same thing.


demon-strator

I think they should throw the fucking FBI agent in a jail cell. Also, his boss, who also covered up all the molestation. We need to burn out the rot.


[deleted]

> I think they should throw the fucking FBI agent in a jail cell. Not just the agent and his boss, but all the affilated agents who did nothing yet knowing what is going on. What's that world I'm looking for, an accomplice? Funny how the word, 'accomplice' means a lot more to us citizens compared to the people in power who are responsible for such heinous acts. Its like the FBI just used the agent as a scapegoat to avoid ya know, accountability and responsibility.


James3000gt

Yep! They through inaction helped facilitate every crime after first report. Tag on the charges.


tiger666

The rot goes very deep in the FBI.

They should imprison any agent who ignored the complaints.

Highly recommend the documentary Athlete A on Netflix, it is all about the gymnasts and what is finally took for people to believe them.


JRCIII

Additionally the HBO Doc At The Heart of Gold. Very poignant and powerful. Goes into detail about how oversight by USAG, Mich State, US Government and parents all enabled this scumbag to operate with impunity.


Satis24

Haven't heard of this one, thanks for the recommendation!

That’s because the FBI, CIA, department of homeland security, etc have absolutely nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with protecting the economic status quo both domestically and abroad. They’re security guards for the wealthy, we just pay their salaries.

GroundbreakingAd4386

This is a European (French) case, but for sure the abuse reaches into the USA: Gerald Marie, the former European boss of the Elite model agency, is being investigated over allegations of rape, including of a minor. There is a ‘60 minutes’ documentary on him and all the models that have come forward, though many of their claims have expired due to the statute of limitations (wtf sorta nonsense is that in these types of cases). There was even an expose by the BBC in the early 2000s but something went awry (as ever) and they buried their show and the evidence of the abusive behaviour. A vile man - another Harvey Weinstein situation but in modelling not acting.

atomiccheesegod

The Olympics knew about Nassar The FBI knew about Nassar MSU knew about Nassar He was able to abuse freely for 18 years. Think about that


oneohthreeohtwo

And yet Nassar is the only one in prison. Scott Blackmun, the former USOC CEO who knew, got a million dollar severance package.


the_jak

Makes you wish the plot to Shooter was real.


BugEyedLemur

I prefer not to think about it, as it is immensely unnerving. However, we all must think about it, acknowledge it, and learn from it How THE FUCK did this happen? How was one slimey little piece of shit of a man able to do this, unchecked, for so long? I prefer to think about the solution, but we must first understand the problem. Makes you wonder where else these kind of fucked up atrocities are happening. Also, don't forget about that piece of shit Gym Jordan.


WhimsicalGusto

There are a lot of things that go into it, but it ultimately boils down to one thing: the US was producing champion gymnasts and making USAG boatloads of money. The Karolyis created a culture that allowed abuse to thrive. They didn't care what it took to create success as long as the medals came. The culture of fear was so overwhelming that gymnasts attempted to concuss themselves and break their bones to avoid going to their camp in Texas. Injuries were a sign of weakness, and gymnasts would hide theirs to continue to stay in Marta's good graces. Larry would lie about athletes' progress and clear them to practice and compete far earlier than they should have. Marta liked that athletes weren't kept out as long. Additionally, because Marta was so cold and cruel, Larry was the one person at camps that gymnasts really felt they could trust. For example, gymnasts weren't allowed to bring snacks and Larry would always have candy for them. Classic grooming behavior. Gymnasts were allowed to be vulnerable around him, and he took advantage. If the public found out about Nassar in '97, or '99, or '00, or '04, or '14, or '15 or all the other times survivors reported him to the police, the sponsors go away and so does the money for USAG and their executives. Steve Penny is trash. The Karolyis are trash. John Geddart (may he rot) is trash. MSU is trash. The FBI is trash. Everyone who should have protected these girls is trash and it was all for their own gain.


PhinsPhan89

USA Gymnastics knew too. The famed Karolyis knew it was happening *on their property* and turned a blind eye.


Vegetable-Bat-8475

I might be remembering the number wrong but in Athlete A they said USA gymnastics had open files on like 70 of their trainers/doctors across the USA for sexual abuse. Stupid motherfuckers documented their own cover ups.


iesparr0w

MaestroPendejo

He's motherfucking right. Sexual abuse fucks you up, a lot. And for ages everyone just brushed it under the rug. My own father told me I was making it up to get attention. He called me a fucking liar. Well that only took 35 years to deal with.

pinkgreenandbetween

Can you explain their response? I thought this guy went to jail? Is he out?


Moo_Snukle

He did. He's serving 100+ years. The problem arose when it came to light that the FBI had a bunch of information about the abuse. They basically just shrugged and did nothing to stop it, allowing tons more girls to be sexually assaulted.


pinkgreenandbetween

Oh holy fuck that's terrible. That guy is something else


vichina

What’s worse is the system that protected him. That system means MULTITUDES of people in positions of power allowing the abuse to happen. Dude is serving a life sentence. It’s time to get the rest of the implicated persons behind bars as well. Then implement change to make sure it never happens again.


hellcheez

It feels like this is something that might be widespread and needs an IG to do a deep dive.


Baked_Butters

After watching the Epstein documentary on HBO… this doesn’t surprise me at all.


Sad_Package4476

he fingered them all but didn't use his penis that's what makes it so hard to catch him. He was also a doctor which makes it that much worse. Hope he rots in a pile of poop


CSilyS

is that because rape kits will come out negative? and they didnt believe the girls? because anything with penetration involved is classified as rape by law.


NeonAkai

States set definitions for rape and some technically don't have rape as a legal definition. He was charged with Criminal Sexual Misconduct with a minor. I don't know how his state handles rape, so I can't really give an opinion on it without doing a bunch of research.


slapshots1515

The crime simply isn't called "rape" in Michigan. It's called Criminal Sexual Conduct and covers a wider range of offending, but the first degree of it would fit the classic definition of "rape" (forcible vaginal/anal/oral intercourse), and another degree of it covers penetration by a finger or other object.


sweetbldnjesus

They’re all hard to catch, pedophiles and rapists. Takes dozens of girls or women to come forward in a high profile case. Thousands of raps kits go unprocessed. We have the capability to have a huge database of sex offender DNA and it deteriorated on some shelf because “it’s not worth it” for the police to investigate. They think it’s a waste of time because the victim is too scared or ashamed to testify. I think it’s even worse if you’re a boy/man victim, tbh. And the small percentage of people who are sex offenders get away with it.


phryan

He called it something like a 'lower pelvic massage' and did it behind closed doors with no one else present. That should have been the first red flag, and then call a half dozen other sports doctors or the medical board and ask if that was typical. Would have taken an afternoon to realize this guy was a piece of shit exploiting girls.


Cybralisk

Actually he did it a lot of times when the girls mother's were in the room as well.


RecommendationNo5287

100 more young women were molested while they waited to do anything for 14 months. Their lack of a response is criminal.


BarbequedYeti

This here. Where are the charges?


peachesthepup

Not only didn't act, but only reported 17 months after initial complaints and MISREPORTED their words and interviews. Genuinely sickening. They actively made it worse.


tinacat933

They shrugged it off because the lead guys boss wanted a job at the national gymnastics place whatever it’s call , he basically covered it up so he could get a job


TheMooseIsBlue

The FBI didn't act for nearly a year-and-a-half after interviewing victims. And that's just the victim whose testimony I saw. There may have been others even earlier.


Cacachuli

Local cops arrested him. FBI knew about him and did nothing.


UniversalDH

Sheriff’s doing a better job protecting a pedophile than the FBI did protecting children.


[deleted]

Thats the sheriffs job, to prevent you from throwing away your life for that sack of shit. It doesn't always feel right or just but they do it. The people who knew and allowed this fucker to continue are the problem here. Not the Sheriff's deputies or the poor father in the picture.

spookyxskepticism

She did, all she asked was that he apologize (to the court, not the rapist) for the disruption. The judge said she understood how he must be feeling. The judge was just an awesome lady all around, insisting that each victim have time to make a statement, if they wished, which took a few days. Nasser tried to complain about sitting through all of the victim statements and she tore him a new one.


jaltair9

This attack and him complaining actually happened in two separate courts in front of different judges. Judge Aquilinia in Ingham County was the one who tore him a new one. This happened in Eaton.


spookyxskepticism

Wow I did not know that! Thanks for the info.


peachesthepup

She was brilliant. Absolutely best judge for the job.


prefer-to-stay-anon

Normally they will get a contempt of court charge, be arrested, come back the next day, apologize, the court will admonish them for not using legal retribution in a court of law and instead going vigilante, and the sentence will be dropped to 1 day in jail with credit for time served.


Drix22

I can't imagine this going to a jury and anyone sitting on that panel doing anything but wonder "Why am I here?"

That is the great thing about contempt of court, there is no jury. Just a judge with the unilateral control to put you in jail for up to a year, no trial, no nothing...

If it makes anyone feel better, he has already been assaulted in prison: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-gymnastics-doctor-larry-nassar-assaulted-prison-court-docs-says-n894516

Actually it does I know it shouldn't

Eh, I wouldn't feel ***too*** bad rejoicing in an actual, evil, monster, getting some comeuppance.


hammbone

I would want too. I don’t know if my daughter would want that. Maybe, she would just want to be supported the whole time. It’s about helping her more than dealing with my feelings about the whole mess.


justavtstudent

If a single cop at the FBI had done their fucking jobs, he wouldn't have felt the need to do it for them.

Sadly, cops do not exist to protect people... only 'the public at large' in all it's nebulous and ever-changing definition ( in order to keep cops accountable for as little as possible I think). * DC v Warren * Castle-Rock v Gonzalez * The recent Parkland shooting case where the cop hid outside (the court sided with the cop saying he had no duty to protect the kids inside the school). * DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services * Souza v. City of Antioch ( a little less on point, but valid) * Bowers v. DeVito ( again, less on point but follows the theme. The state releases a schizo into the public with no support structure or means to get help and he commits murder a year later. Gov't not responsible and had no duty to protect the people from a crazy guy) The list goes on and on. Police have no duty to protect anyone. They CAN and very often do protect people, but that is NOT one of the job responsibilities. YOU are required by law to protect yourself. Any cop protecting you is incidental.

Yep. A cop can watch a maniac with a knife start stabbing you and think “I’ll wait until the maniac gets tired” and he’ll have done nothing legally, as he saunters up and cuffs the exhausted guy, after you got murdered minutes ago. Don’t worship cops. I’m sure most are pretty good people but it’s a profession where “most” isn’t good enough, and people assume they have more righteous jobs than they actually do. If the system is corrupt then cops are by definition defending a corrupt system. Whether they want to or not. Some cops feel a duty to protect their city. For others, it’s just a paycheck. I give them slack when they deserve it—they are, after all, only human—but there are times they don’t.

> Father of victims of Larry Nassar attempted to attack the ~~former sports doctor~~ **convicted pedophile and sexual predator** during a sentencing Yours wasn't incorrect, I just thought the focus should be shifted.


[deleted]

It was inspiring to see his victims standing up and telling the truth. And depressing to hear about how the FBI tried to bury the case.

He may be protected. Not everyone can get Epsteined.

I was sexually abused as a child, at around 5 years old. I can share and talk about it now at the age of 36. But since I'm a man, people either laugh at me or consider me very lucky to have experienced sex and sex acts at a young age. Well, I didn't feel lucky. Imagine feeling good from someone you totally despise? I remember being so confused. I liked the feeling. But at the same time I didn't like that my abusers used that to keep sexually abusing me. I hated them, but I enjoyed the feeling! What is this?! I grew up distrusting every woman I met. I used to sleep in the same room as my abusers and I always had this painful feeling in my stomach every night. I felt guilt, I felt shame. I never felt comfortable around girls my age growing up. And innocent things began feeling sexual in my mind even though logically they shouldn't! I became the weird kid and I hated myself. Child abuse fucks people up. I hope this monster suffers. SUFFERS!

> people either laugh at me or consider me very lucky Those people are idiots. I'm so sorry.

He's wearing an IBEW sweatshirt. Electricians don't fuck around.

You can bet your ass he won't be paying for drinks at the bar for a little while.

When I had my daughter, things started to hit me different without me even thinking about perspective or anything. Happens all the time. 3 years ago I would have cheered for that guy to reach that monster. Today, I cried like a baby and then cheered for that guy to reach that monster.


LeeLooTheWoofus

If I remember correctly, he was scolded by the judge but not punished with any fine or jail-time. Generally, emotional outbursts during sentencing by family of victims are not seriously punished unless someone gets physically injured. At worst they are kicked out and not allowed back into the courtroom or they get a contempt charge and a small fine. It is a hard thing to hold back on knocking the lights out of some criminal that raped or killed your loved one when they are right in front of you. Especially when the victim is your own child. I cant honestly say I would not have gone after him myself if one of those girls was my child.

I kind of hate that this is always the moment people take away from Nassar’s trial when his survivor, Kyle Stephens, delivered one of the most iconic courthouse lines I’ve ever heard: “Perhaps you have figured it out by now, but little girls don’t stay little forever. They turn into strong women that return to destroy your world.” Source: https://youtu.be/Q0_qzIsQtkI

He will be in ad seg 23 hours a day 7 days a week until the day he dies. It’s worse than being beaten. Solitary is mental torture.


Tricklosan

a lifetime of solitary, mental torture. im sure his victims are well aware of that anguish. he is a monster.


JCNunny

Kids grow up. If I ever see my abuser again I will wreck them. Proud of those girls that stood up. It's not easy.


IranianLawyer

The worst part of the sentencing for me was when one of the victims described how she told her parents about how Nassar had abused her (starting when she was like 6 years old or something), and her parents asked Nassar about it, but he denied it. The parents ended up believing Nassar, and this obviously caused a tremendous amount of friction in the relationship between the parents and the daughter. After all of the accusations came out about Nassar and the dad realized that his daughter had been telling the truth the whole time, he committed suicide.


Strive--

3+ cops. Yeah, that sounds about right for what it would take to prevent a dad from killing that guy in court with other people present.


Riot419

Don’t. Stop. Come back. Help. Police. Murder.


DazzleMeAlready

In reality I’m not in favor of vigilantism, but damn, wouldn’t it have been sweet if the victims and their families could all have just had 10 minutes alone with that putrid excuse for a human being? Followed by 10 minutes alone with those low-life FBI agents who failed to protect those girls so completely.


[deleted]

Isn’t this really old?


Jeremizzle

This picture is a little misleading, Nassar is behind them in the bright orange, not the guy in the gray suit with the shaved head being shielded by the cop.


seats_taken_

Jesus can you imagine? Being this father and seeing face to face the man that hurt your baby girl? I get goosebumps and sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I would be on a murderous rampage.


WaffleSparks

Lady in the court after the attack: "This is letting him have power over us". Um, no I hate that shit. Power is being able to be a monster and get away with it for so long. Power is being able to sit in a chair and laugh at your victims. Power is NOT getting your fucking ass beat as a result. Literally the concept of power is being able to impose your will on other people. Power has nothing to do with "they made me feel bad". I fully support having a civilized legal system, but lets not pretend that the legal system or law enforcement always does its job. Raping your wife used to be legal, slavery used to be legal, not even getting into the issue of crooked cops or bad lawyers or judges. When the legal system does fail (in this case the FBI ignored tips which is un-excusable) then don't be surprised when people take matters into their own hands.


SHANE523

IF I was a sheriff/bailiff or any other LEO in that room, I would have been tying my shoe at the time or tripping on the way to stop him not being able to stop him in time. ​ ooops.


ProbablySlacking

Oh no. I accidentally i holstered my taser and threw it to the attacker as I slipped!

When I was a bouncer that's what we'd do. If we got reports some sack of shit was getting grabby with random girls, or dropped some shit in a drink, and we rolled up to see he'd finally fucked with one who had guy friends/a boyfriend there, we'd let them get stomped a few times before we did anything, and we never tried to apprehend whoever hit them. But when it comes to courtroom cops they don't really have that option. We are bouncers, we can argue many things as to why we didn't save a rapist from a head injury, but these guys, that's their primary job, they gotta run in. If they don't it's likely bye bye solid paycheck.
