"I just signed your death warrant." 



Those were the words of Judge Rosemarie Aquilina of a court in Michigan in the United States when she imposed a sentence on Larry Nassar, the former U.S gymnastics team doctor on Wednesday, who is accused of sexually abusing over 150 young female athletes.



Nassar has been sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for multiple sex crimes.



Given an opportunity to address the court before sentencing, Nassar, 54, apologised to his victims.



The judge also read aloud portions of a letter written by Nassar, attempting to minimise his crimes as medical treatments and complaining prosecutors “manipulated” him into pleading guilty. 



In November last year, he pleaded guilty to sexually abusing seven girls.



Nassar had already been sentenced to 60 years in prison for child pornography convictions.
