Disgraced former US gymnastics doc Larry Nassar a ‘target’ in federal prison: ‘He’s in danger every day’

A year after he suffered a near-fatal stabbing in prison, 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 molester and disgraced Olympic gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar still bears the physical scars from his attack — and his fellow inmates have targeted him as a “weak” man who they can exploit, according to a prison source.

“He came in here looking like a victim and acting like a victim,” said a guard at FCI Coleman, a Florida federal prison that housed Nassar from 2018 to 2023.

“He was an easy target. They called him a little b—h and treated him like a doormat. And that’s still happening at his new prison, as far as I know. He’s in danger every day, because he’s weak.”

The threat is likely even higher as the US Gymnastics Team, whose former members he preyed on, takes center stage at the Paris Olympics. Simone Biles, who clinched gold in the all-around individual gymnastics competition on Thursday, is among the gymnasts who have spoken publicly about being abused by Nassar.

“Lots of these guys have no contact with their family, and they look up to these Olympians,” said the guard.

“They are fans. And he’s hated because of what he did not only to little girls, but to heroic little girls.”

Nassar’s stint at FCI Coleman ended in 2023, when he was transferred to FCI Lewisburg, a medium-security prison in Pennsylvania.

The disgraced ex-doctor was transferred to the new facility after he was nearly 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed last July, when fellow inmate Shane McMillan allegedly used a shank to repeatedly stab the serial 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual abuser in his cell. McMillan reportedly said Nassar told him he wanted to ogle female tennis players at Wimbledon.

“It offended McMillan,” said the guard, who saw the aftermath of the attack. “A serial molester saying that stuff is not a good look, and McMillian put him in his place.”

Nassar suffered wounds in his back, chest, torso and arms. He received dozens of stitches and still sports visible scars from the stabbing, the source told The Post.

Now serving between 40 and 175 years in prison for convictions in state and federal courts, Nassar admitted 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually assaulting athletes when he worked at Michigan State University and at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, which oversees the Olympic gymnastics team. He also pleaded guilty in a separate case to possessing images of 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual abuse.

A slew of prominent athletes, including Olympians Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, helped bring down the deranged doctor by coming forward with their harrowing allegations of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual abuse.

While some inmates claimed that Nassar provided 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual favors to Mexican gang members, the guard said that the relationship was likely more financial than 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual.

“When weak people need protection, they have 2 things to give, either 𝓈ℯ𝓍 or money,” the guard claims. “He had money and bought them items. I know that for a fact. Now the guys may have spread the rumor that he sucked their d–ks just to humiliate him, but I’d be really surprised if he actually did. His currency is money, not 𝓈ℯ𝓍.”

A spokesperson for FCI Lewiston did not immediately return a message from The Post seeking comment.
