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.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted of sexually abusing female gymnasts including Olympic medalists, was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another inmate at a federal prison in Florida.
Yeah, I'd never heard of him and read the title and was like "That seems like a bit much." Then I started reading what happened and wow, that title doesn't even come close to how much of a piece of shit he was.
Prison authorities definitely try to prevent it, if for no other reason than it makes conditions dangerous for them too. It's terrible that it's celebrated in popular culture though for sure.
Most of the time I would agree. On the other hand, a serial child molester is not someone that is likely ever going to be able to change, even if they're given every opportunity through rehabilitation (which US prisons do not do in the first place), so I have a hard time feeling bad for him in particular.
TL;DR: was stabbed multiple times during an altercation with another inmate at a federal prison in Florida.
Two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press the attack happened Sunday at United States Penitentiary Coleman. The people said he was in stable condition Monday.
