A former Michigan State University head gymnastics coach is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday for lying to police during an investigation into ex-Olympic and university doctor Larry Nassar.

Kathie Klages, 65, was found guilty by a jury in February of a felony and a misdemeanour for denying she knew of Nassar's abuse prior to 2016 when survivors started to come forward publicly.

Two women testified in November 2018 that in 1997 they told Klages that Nassar had sexually abused them. One of the women, Larissa Boyce, testified that Klages held up a piece of paper in front of the then-16-year-old and said if she filed a report there could be serious consequences for Boyce. Nearly 200 letters were submitted to the judge on Klages' behalf, her lawyer, Mary Chartier, said in a court filing ahead of the hearing. She noted that Klages sent her granddaughter, daughter and son to Nassar for health care.

Nassar was sentenced in 2018 to 40 to 175 years in prison for decades of sexual abuse to hundreds of athletes.

Wow. This “woman” didn’t protect children....... A useless human, deserves full penalty.

I don’t believe anyone could “forget” one accusation of child abuse from a victim, never mind 2. Even if it’s possible, this lady had these students in her care, she had a duty to remember & to act. She was grossly negligent as a coach & is a disgrace as a human being.

Phew. She may get jail time since she is 65 years old, just below the new AG Barr rule.

Is that Bella in drag?

N.S. reports two new cases of COVID-19; 4 active cases in the provinceNova Scotia is reporting two new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, bringing the total number of active cases in the province to four. Almost 1 MILLION Nova Scotians mandated to wear masks because 4 people (0.000004 of the population) have a virus with a 99% survival rate? This makes sense to you? All 4 cases are related to out of country travel and NS has never had community spread outside of 1 care home, and practically every single death was in that 1 care home, and all of this without a mandatory mask law, until last Friday. Impossible, the passengers on the flight were all wearing masks
