Larry Nassar loses his last appeal in sexual assault scandal

DETROIT (AP) - The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday rejected a final appeal from sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was sentenced to decades in prison for sexually assaulting gymnasts, including Olympic medalists.The court declined to take the case.
