Ex-MSU Gymnastics Coach Kathie Klages Sentenced for Lying in Nassar Case

A judge sentenced former Michigan State head gymnastics coach Kathie Klages to 90 days in jail after she was found guilty of lying to investigators about her knowledge of abuse committed by Larry Nassar, according to the Associated Press' Anna Liz Nichols.

Nassar pleaded guilty to multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct in January 2018. More than 150 women and girls had testified during his trial that he sexually abused them while he worked as a doctor for Michigan State and USA Gymnastics.

Larissa Boyce testified in February that she approached Klages in 1997 to discuss abuse she had suffered, only to have Klages dismiss the claims, per MLive.
