Former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is scheduled to appear in a Michigan courtroom on Wednesday Jan. 31 for a second sentencing hearing, after already being sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for abusing young female gymnasts who were entrusted to his care.

Dozens of victims are expected to appear in court, as they did in the previous hearing, to tell a judge how Nassar abused them as young athletes under the guise of medical treatment. The hearing is expected to last several days.
