Judge sentences ex-MSU coach to jail in Nassar-related case

Associated Press  

LANSING, Mich. — A former Michigan State University head gymnastics coach was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail for lying to police during an investigation into former Olympic and university doctor Larry Nassar. She called Nassar a “master manipulator” and said Klages sent her granddaughter, daughter and sons to Nassar for health care. Chartier tried to mitigate Klages’ part in the abuse, saying she was among “thousands” who had been present in the room during Nassar’s treatments, including parents. “I hope that the fact that she got jail time deters other people and people truly believe children and women who come forward with allegations of assault.” Klages is the second person to be convicted of charges related to Nassar’s case.
