Pretty fucked up shit. This documentary tells the story of Larry Nassar, the USA gymnastics doctor who serially abused hundreds and hundreds of underage athletes. There also is a documentary "Athlete A" on Netflix which tells the same story. Basically, he's the worst human alive. Sentenced to 175 years in jail.
Some notable points:
- Molested everyone from neighbors to olympic gold medalists
- His attorney stated that the 35,000 child porn images found in his house was "wasn't a significant amount"
- From what I could put together, he abused a friend of the family's child, and the child told her parents about Nassar, and they didn't believe her, it ruined her and her dad's relationship and the dad ended up killing himself when he found out his daughter was telling the truth. (This may be inaccurate)
- During his trial, over 150 girls come forward and read statements saying how he is a monster, pretty hard to watch
- Larry writes a letter to the judge (a female) saying that he felt this was all a circus, and then, get this, writes "we all know hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." What a true fucking Lumi/Vanessa level idiot. You're about to be sentenced for raping hundreds of female children and you write something horribly misogynistic to the female judge.
- Michigan State University helped cover a lot of this up for a while, and they are true pieces of shit too
Really a devastating documentary. But it's interesting to see because he was a master manipulator, and so many of the girls had trouble coming forward because they were convinced that the treatments from this "esteemed olympic doctor" were legitimate and helping them. The treatments, by the way, he would take his ungloved hand and put his fingers in their vagina and anus to "stimulate nerves" to help the body heal. It's complete fucking bullshit, obviously. He would reportedly get erections while doing this, and it seems exposed himself and maybe rubbed his penis on people too. I'm not diving any deeper into the facts of this because it's disgusting.
By the way, Larry was a DO, which is an osteopathic physician, which is generally considered second tier to a MD back when he went to school, but not really now. These days they learn basically all the same shit but teach them some bullshit osteopathic manipulations that most will never practice. In most places DOs can sit for MD board exams and complete MD residencies. Chiropractors do the same shit, but without legitimate medicine, and are mostly quacks. This is a similar technique to what Nassar was doing:

Total bullshit. Adjusting someone's coccyx, lol. Complete bullshit.
