Live blog: Day 5 of ex-MSU doctor Larry Nassar's sentencing

January 22, 2018

At least 31 survivors of sexual abuse will speak on Monday about the impact ex-MSU and USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar had on their lives during day five of his sentencing.

More survivors could be added to the list, as Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina has said she wants to give everyone a chance to speak. It is likely the sentencing will go through Tuesday.

Many survivors have said MSU was negligent for allowing Nassar to continue to practice following the 2014 investigation, leading to numerous calls for President Lou Anna K. Simon's resignation. The Board of Trustees affirmed its faith in Simon's leadership Friday, but Trustee Mitch Lyons released a statement Saturday calling for Simon's resignation.

Catch up on day four of the sentencing here.
