Disgraced physician Larry Nassar was reportedly involved in an altercation with another inmate while serving time in federal prison for sexual assault.
The Associated Press reported on Monday, July 10, that Nassar, 59, was stabbed multiple times during an incident at the United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida one day prior. He was struck in the back and chest but is said to be in stable condition.

He pleaded guilty in July 2017 to receiving and possessing child pornography and tampering with evidence, which earned him a 60-year prison sentence and a lifetime of supervised release.
Throughout 2017, hundreds of women and girls claimed they had been sexually abused by Nassar during his stint as the U.S. women’s gymnastics team doctor.

Nassar pleaded guilty to seven counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with minors in November 2017, admitting to molesting multiple girls — some of whom were under the age of 13. During his sentencing hearing the following January, Raisman and more victims made impact statements detailing the abuse
