Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another incarcerated person at a federal prison in Florida.
Two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press the attack happened Sunday at United States Penitentiary Coleman in Sumter County, Florida. The people said he was in stable condition Monday.
One of the people said he had been stabbed in the back and in the chest.
The people were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack or the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
Nasser is a convicted serial child molester and former sports medicine physician. For 18 years, he was the team doctor of the United States women’s national gymnastics team, where he used his position to exploit, deceive, and sexually assault hundreds of children and young women.
Nassar was sentenced to decades in prison for sexually assaulting gymnasts, including Olympic medalists.
