      Wikipedia is more accurate “convicted serial child molester”. Why does the media downplay his crimes?

        I never heard of him before and thought he was involved with some doping scandal or whatever. Who wrote that headline? Disgusting!

      Habitually inserting your fingers into teen girls is a bit more than touching.

      Disgraced is appropriate, as he used to be held in high regard as a doctor, but no longer is. The extent of that disgrace and the reason for it doesn’t change how appropriate the word is to use.

        Agreed, it’s an appropriate headline. The lede clarifies why he’s disgraced.

        WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

      Yeah, I’d never heard of him and read the title and was like “That seems like a bit much.” Then I started reading what happened and wow, that title doesn’t even come close to how much of a piece of shit he was.
