Disgraced former US gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is a 'target' in federal prison: 'He's in danger every day'

 A year after surviving a near-fatal stabbing in prison, disgraced Olympic gymnastics doctor and convicted child molester Larry Nassar still bears physical scars from the attack. According to a prison source, his fellow inmates have targeted him as a "weak" man they can exploit.

"He came in here looking like a victim and acting like a victim," said a guard at FCI Coleman, a Florida federal prison that housed Nassar from 2018 to 2023.

Larry Nassar, sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for molesting young girls, remains a target behind bars.

"He was an easy target. They called him a little b—h and treated him like a doormat. And that’s still happening at his new prison, as far as I know. He’s in danger every day, because he’s weak," said a guard at FCI Coleman, a Florida federal prison that housed Nassar from 2018 to 2023.

The danger he faces is likely heightened as the US Gymnastics Team, including some of his victims, takes the spotlight at the Paris Olympics. Simone Biles, who won gold in the all-around individual gymnastics competition on Thursday, is one of the gymnasts who have publicly spoken about Nassar's abuse.

"They are fans. And he’s hated because of what he did not only to little girls but to heroic little girls," the guard added.

Nassar's time at FCI Coleman ended in 2023, when he was transferred to FCI Lewisburg, a medium-security prison in Pennsylvania. The transfer occurred after Nassar was nearly killed in July by fellow inmate Shane McMillan, who allegedly used a shank to repeatedly stab him in his cell. McMillan reportedly stated that Nassar had told him he wanted to ogle female tennis players at Wimbledon.

“It offended McMillan,” said the guard, who saw the aftermath of the attack. “A serial molester saying that stuff is not a good look, and McMillan put him in his place.”

Nassar suffered wounds to his back, chest, torso, and arms. He received dozens of stitches and still bears visible scars from the stabbing, the source told The Post.

Simone Biles testified at a Senate Judiciary hearing about the FBI’s mishandling of the case.

Now serving between 40 and 175 years in prison for convictions in state and federal courts, Nassar admitted to sexually assaulting athletes during his tenure at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, which oversees the Olympic gymnastics team. He also pleaded guilty in a separate case to possessing images of child sexual abuse.

A slew of prominent athletes, including Olympians Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, helped bring down the disgraced doctor by coming forward with their harrowing allegations of sexual abuse.

Some inmates have claimed that Nassar offered sexual favors to Mexican gang members, but the guard suggested that the relationship was likely more about money than sex.

“When vulnerable individuals need protection, they usually offer either sex or money,” the guard said. “Nassar had money and used it to buy items for them, which I know for a fact. It’s possible the inmates spread rumors about sexual favors to humiliate him, but I’d be very surprised if he actually did. His real currency is money, not sex.”

A spokesperson for FCI Lewisburg did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.
