Please explain why they are not prosecuting this guy for all his crimes:
Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor who stands accused of sexually abusing more than 100 of his female patients, has agreed to plead guilty to federal child pornography charges, the latest development in his sprawling legal case.
The agreement, first reported by The Detroit News, relates only to the federal child pornography charges filed in December against Nassar. He has agreed to plead guilty to receiving child pornography, possession of child pornography and charges relating to his attempt to destroy and conceal evidence in the case.
According to the terms of the plea deal, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Michigan has agreed not to prosecute Nassar for the arguably more serious charge of sexually exploiting children, including children he allegedly molested at his home, in his swimming pool and, the agreement states, during "interstate/international travel."
That aspect of the agreement is particularly upsetting to former national team gymnasts who have accused Nassar of sexually abusing them during medical treatments at national and international competitions and at the famed Karolyi ranch run by former national team coaches Bela and Marta Karolyi.
