The state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has revoked the medical license of Larry Nassar.

Nassar is the former Michigan State University sports doctor currently in prison for sexual assault.

Nassar will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars for sexually assaulting female patients – many of them minors – under the guise of treatment.

The department says they have also issued Nassar the largest fine issued by a health professional or occupational board in the department’s history. One million dollars.

That’s 250-thousand dollars each for four violations of the Public Health Code.

The money will go to the State of Michigan. But only after Nassar pays all restitution, criminal fees and fines and civil judgments against him.
