CHARLOTTE - For the second time in seven days, Larry Nassar — the once famed MSU and USA Gymnastics doctor — admitted to sexually assaulting young teens while he was supposed to be providing medical care.

He'll soon be sentenced to decades in prison.

Nassar, 54, pleaded guilty Wednesday morning to three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in Eaton County Circuit Court as part of a plea agreement with the Michigan Attorney General's Office, which is prosecuting him in state courts.
