Girl, 15, makes a plea to Nassar: ‘Help my sisters’

ANSING, Mich. (WOOD) — A 15-year-old girl spoke some of the boldest words on the fifth day of sentencing for Larry Nassar.

Nassar, who was a doctor for Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, is being sentenced on multiple felonies connected to his guilty plea for sexually assaulting girls and women under the guise of medical treatment. The abuse is alleged to have happened over the course of some 20 years.

It’s likely no one in the courtroom expected the gravity in the remarks that were delivered by 15-year-old Emma Ann Miller.

The girl said she was sexually abused repeatedly while undergoing treatment from Nassar. She said the most recent visit with him was in August 2016, days before he was fired by MSU as allegations of assault became public. She said she suspects that she may have been the last teen girl he abused.

“Larry Nassar, I hate you,” Emma said as she looked directly at him in the courtroom. “I’m not afraid of him. My sister survivors are not afraid of him.”
