Disgraced former US gymnastics doc Larry Nassar a ‘target’ in federal prison: ‘He’s in danger every day’

A year after he suffered a near-fatal stabbing in prison, child molester and disgraced Olympic gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar still bears the physical scars from his attack — and his fellow inmates have targeted him as a “weak” man who they can exploit, according to a prison source.
“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.
“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.”
The threat is likely even higher as the US Gymnastics Team, whose former members he preyed on, takes center stage at the Paris Olympics. Simone Biles, who clinched gold in the all-around individual gymnastics competition on Thursday, is among the gymnasts who have spoken publicly about being abused by Nassar.
“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 McMillian put him in his place.”
Nassar suffered wounds in his back, chest, torso and arms. He received dozens of stitches and still sports visible scars from the stabbing, the source told The Post.
Now serving between 40 and 175 years in prison for convictions in state and federal courts, Nassar admitted sexually assaulting athletes when he worked at Michigan State University and at Indianapolis-based 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 deranged doctor by coming forward with their harrowing allegations of sexual abuse.
“When weak people need protection, they have 2 things to give, either sex or money,” the guard claims. “He had money and bought them items. I know that for a fact. Now the guys may have spread the rumor that he sucked their d–ks just to humiliate him, but I’d be really surprised if he actually did. His currency is money, not sex.”
A spokesperson for FCI Lewiston did not immediately return a message from The Post seeking comment.
