Victims' father tries to attack Larry Nassar in courtroom

CHARLOTTE, Mich. (AP) — A father of three victims of Larry Nassar rushed toward and tried to attack the disgraced former sports doctor during a sentencing hearing Friday, after the judge declined his request for "five minutes" alone with Nassar in a locked room. He was quickly tackled by bailiffs.

Two of the man's daughters had just addressed the court, saying they and another sister had been sexually abused by Nassar under the guise of medical treatment. Their father, Randall Margraves, then told the judge he was a "distraught father."

He looked at Nassar, shook his head and called him a profanity while speaking at the courtroom podium.
