Remember Larry Nassar?
The creepy Team USA gymnastics doctor who was later convicted of abusing all those girls?
Looks like justice just struck.
Funny how even in prison they don’t much like child abusers.
Take a look:

From the NY Post:
Child molester Larry Nassar was stabbed multiple times in the federal prison where he is serving hundreds of years for sexually assaulting gymnasts, including gold medal-winning Olympians.
Nassar, 59, was stabbed twice in the neck, twice in the back and six times in the chest in the Sunday afternoon attack in the Federal Correctional Complex Coleman in Central Florida, a union official told NBC News.
He was listed in stable condition despite suffering a collapsed lung, Local 506 president Joe Rojas told the outlet, citing info from staff on duty at the time.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed to The Post that an inmate was assaulted at the prison just after 2:30 p.m. Sunday, but declined to identify him over privacy and security concerns.
“Responding staff immediately initiated life-saving measures,” bureau spokesperson Donald Murphy said.
“The inmate was transported by (emergency personnel) to a local hospital for further treatment and evaluation.”
The FBI was notified and an internal investigation is ongoing, said Murphy, who refused to discuss who was responsible for the attack inside the high-security prison that houses more than 1,200 male inmates.
“No staff or other inmates were injured and at no time was the public in danger,” the spokesman said.
The attack was first reported by The Associated Press, which cited two sources.
More than 300 girls and women, including Olympians like Aly Raisman and Simone Biles, accused the former Michigan State University sports doctor of sexually abusing them under the guise of medical treatment in a pattern of horrendous abuse that stretched back decades.
ADVERTISEMENTHe eventually admitted sexually assaulting athletes at the university and USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians.
Do you have any sympathy for him?

🚨BREAKING: Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts, has been stabbed multiple times at a federal prison

From the AP, here are more details:
Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts including Olympic medalists, was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another inmate at a federal prison in Florida.
Two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press the attack happened Sunday at United States Penitentiary Coleman. The people said he was in stable condition Monday.
One of the people said Nassar had been stabbed in the back and in the chest. The prison was experiencing staffing shortages, and one of the people familiar with the matter said the officers assigned to the unit where Nassar was held were working mandated overtime shifts.
ADVERTISEMENTThe people were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack or the ongoing investigation and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.
Nassar is serving decades in prison for convictions in state and federal courts. He admitted sexually assaulting athletes when he worked at Michigan State University and at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians. Separately, Nassar pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.
The federal Bureau of Prisons has experienced significant staffing shortages in the last few years, an issue thrust into the spotlight when disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein took his own life at a federal jail in New York in 2019. An Associated Press investigation in 2021 revealed nearly one-third of federal correctional officer positions vacant nationwide, forcing prisons to use cooks, teachers, nurses and other workers to guard inmates. The staffing shortages have hampered the response to emergencies at other prisons, including suicides.
On Sunday, both officers working in the unit with Nassar were working overtime shifts. One of the officers was on the third straight shift, working a 16-hour day, one of the people said. And the other officer was on their second straight shift, the person said.
