Larry Nassar stabbing sparked by molester’s lewd comment about wanting to watch ‘girls’ at Wimbledon
Fault!
An irate inmate repeatedly stabbed dirty doctor Larry Nassar in his cell Sunday afternoon because he lewdly said he wanted to leer at female tennis players during Wimbledon.
Shane McMillan — who has priors for assaulting a corrections officer and attempted murder — took umbrage with the serial sex abuser’s remarks and attacked him with a crude shank.
Swinging the knife roughly 10 times, McMillan gashed the disgraced physician in his neck, chest and back inside the United States Penitentiary Coleman in Central Florida before other inmates managed to wrench him off.
Corrections officers rushed to the scene to perform life-saving measures before Nassar was carted off to hospital where he was treated for a collapsed lung.
Currently serving life in prison for sexually abusing hundreds of young athletes, Nassar was in stable condition as of Wednesday.
The violence was not captured on surveillance footage.
McMillan, 49, told prison investigators that he knifed Nassar after he made the unseemly comments about the annual British tennis tournament.
He was scheduled for release in 2046, but Sunday’s high profile incident could impact that timetable.
McMillan was originally hit with a roughly 20-year term for a 2002 Wyoming methamphetamine distribution rap and was slated for release next year.
But subsequent prison crimes extended his term.
In October 2006, McMIllan socked a corrections guard in a recreation yard at the United States Penitentiary in Pollock, Louisiana for questioning him about an inmate assault.
The punch tacked on another five years to his sentence.
In November of 20122, McMillan and an accomplice stabbed another prisoner 66 times in a recreation yard at the Bureau of Prisons’ Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado.
That assault added 20 years to his term.
The Bureau of Prisons said it was “imperative that we increase our staffing levels” in the attack’s wake on Wednesday.
Nassar, officials said, resided in a special unit away from the facility’s general population.
“We make every effort to ensure the physical safety of individuals confined to our facilities through a controlled environment that is secure and humane,” agency spokesman Scott Taylor said. “As we continue to pivot out of a years-long pandemic, there are still challenges to confront and opportunities to improve our agency, protect the lives of those who work for us, and ensure the wellbeing of those entrusted to our custody.”
A parade of prominent athletes, including Olympians Aly Raisman and Simone Biles, came forward with heinous accusations of abuse against Nassar over the course of several decades.
Under the guise of legitimate medical procedures, the former Michigan State University and U.S. gymnastics doctor sexually assaulted his victims until a torrent of whistleblowers finally brought him down.
Nassar was convicted in three separate trials, with one judge, Rosemarie Aquilina, hitting him with up to 175 years in prison in 2018.
Sunday’s attack drew disappointment from one of Nassar’s victims rather than satisfaction.
“This assault on Nassar brings no peace to me personally or to the survivors I’ve spoken with today,” said Sarah Klein, now an attorney representing sexual abuse victims. “The incident forces us to vividly relive our abuse and trauma at the hands of Nassar and the institutions, including law enforcement, that protected him and allowed him to prey on children.”
