Viraldice: A Rebuttal to Every Man Who Claims Judge Rosemarie Aquilina Was Too Harsh on Larry Nassar

n Wednesday, January 24, 2018, former Olympic doctor and notorious pedophile, Larry Nassar, was sentenced to 40 to 175 years for molesting over 160 girls and women. The news came as a relief to the gymnastics community, which Nassar had preyed upon upon for decades, using his reputation as an esteemed and beloved figure to cover his tracks.

Nassar was fond of digitally penetrating girls under the auspices of “treatment,” specifically, “intravaginal adjustments,” a legitimate medical procedure which, in his hands, became a tool for evil.

When girls complained, he used an army of unsuspecting friends and well-wishers (the vast majority of whom had no idea of what he was doing) to shut them down. He even used the girl’s own families against them, since many could not believe such a “nice” man had done such things.

The grand evil of Larry Nassar was that he made everyone around him unwittingly complicit. Judge Rosemarie Aquilina acknowledged this as she presided over Nassar’s sentencing.

”I just signed your death warrant,” the Judge said.

She further added, ”It is my honor and privilege to sentence you. You do not deserve to walk outside a prison ever again. You have done nothing to control those urges and anywhere you walk, destruction will occur to those most vulnerable,”

 

 

Aquilina noted that Nassar’s actions were ”precise, calculated, manipulative, devious, despicable,” and scoffed when, earlier in the month, Nassar complained via a six-page single spaced letter that it was too hard to listen to his victim’s testimonies.
