A furious father whose daughters were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar lunged at the disgraced doctor while in court today.


Randall Margraves was stood in the podium while two of his daughters gave their victim impact statements at Eaton County Court.

When the victims were finished, Margraves asked the judge if he could have 'five minutes' alone with Nassar - who he referred to as a 'demon'.

When Judge Janice Cunningham refused his request, he asked for a minute alone with him, which she also denied.

Seemingly frustrated with the judge's response, Margrave then threw himself towards the defence table, shouting 'let me at him' with a raised fist, before he was tackled to the ground by court officers. He was quickly placed in handcuffs and led out the room.

Last week the former US Gymnastics team doctor was sentenced for up to 175 for his vile crimes against over 150 women and girls, spanning across two decades.

Sentencing him last week, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said: "I just signed your death warrant. I find that you don't get it, that you're a danger, that you remain a danger."

As well as his sentence for sexual assault, Nassar has a 60-year sentence for possessing images of child abuse.
