The USA Gymnastics doctor who was charged with hundreds of counts of child molestation was sentenced in a courtroom on Wednesday.

Dr. Larry Nassar was accused of molesting USA team members – including high profile gymnasts like Aly Raisman and Mckayla Maroney – throughout his entire tenure as the team doctor. After being convicted, Nassar was forced to sit through days of statements from over 160 of his victims.

The judge in the case sentenced Nassar to 175 years in prison.
