SUMMARY
Larry Nassar, the disgraced sports doctor convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of gymnasts, reportedly relied on gang members for protection while imprisoned in a Florida federal penitentiary. An inmate, Grace Pinson, claimed Nassar paid cash and provided "sexual favors" to Mexican gang members. Nassar, who faced a near-fatal stabbing in July 2021, was described as a "scared little church mouse" by Pinson. Despite the protection, he was eventually transferred to a federal prison in Pennsylvania. The Bureau of Prisons and Nassar did not comment on these claims. Nassar is serving a lengthy sentence for his crimes.
