Make New York Post a Preferred Source Larry Nassar — the vile ex-Team USA gymnastics doctor convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of young female athletes — has been removed from the Michigan Sex Offender Registry.
The move is a result of a recent Michigan Supreme Court decision that allows the names of sex offenders to be purged from the database if their crimes were committed before July 1, 2011, FOX News reported.
Nassar’s name was scrubbed along with roughly 20,000 other convicted sex offenders’ from the state police database, according to the station, which cited Eaton County Prosecutor’s Office.

Over decades, Nassar, 63, committed widespread, revolting sexual abuse against at least 265 young athletes — many of them minors — under the guise of providing medical treatment while working as a team doctor for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University.
While the prolific pervert wasn’t publicly exposed or arrested until 2016, his crimes occurred before the 2011 cutoff date.

“The Michigan Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate SORA requirements for these offenders is deeply concerning,” the office said. “Our community, along with the victims of these crimes, expected the registry to provide a measure of protection and awareness — assurances that have now been removed by the Court’s ruling.”
It added, “Nassar is not the only offender relieved of the obligation to register before completing a prison sentence. Individuals such as Damon Warner, Kevin Kalmbach, Jay Yensen, Justin Bowles, Joe Deleon, and Ernesto Uribe—all convicted in Eaton County of sexually assaulting minors—remain incarcerated but will eventually return to the community without any requirement to report their residence.”
The sicko sports doctor was convicted of federal child pornography charges and multiple state counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2017 and 2018.
During his sentencing, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina described him as “possibly the most prolific serial child sex abuser in history.”
