It's pretty fucked up that the defendant can plead guilty and effectively shut down the voices of the victims and nullify their day in court.

Coincidentally I read about this today. Good news: victim impact statements are made at sentencing and parole hearings.

Larry Nassar's sentencing is on November 27.

By the way, did anyone else think this sounded weird (near end of OP article)?

What is weird?

Are the best gymnastic coaches men?

Men that love to spend their time with young girls? That fall in love with the girls?

At this point I would have been more shocked if they hadn't been abused.

I haven't normalized anything.

It's an explanation.
