Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar has been stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another incarcerated person at a federal prison in Florida.
The word you’re looking for is rape. He raped girls and women for decades while the institution that employed him (Michigan State University) knew and did nothing.
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.
