Lindsey Lemke stepped to the podium for the second time this week during Larry Nassar’s sentencing hearing. There was more she wanted to say.
“Larry, I hope you, Lou Anna Simon, Kathie Klages, John Geddert and all of USAG are scared,” she said. “Because you have pissed off the wrong army of women.”

I read that one yesterday, watched a couple of the videos, the whole thing really is a Stephen-King type horror story. Something about it strikes me much harder than the Sandusky story for some reason, the sheer numbers, the hubris of that man, the way he used his status to fool parents into acting against their own instincts, etc. Fooling the parents into complicity, where they end up making it worse for the girl sometimes to the point of suicide, true horror, the ultimate in a predator. No doubt he even used his meek physical appearance to his benefit to instill trust.
By comparison, a grownup English teacher being attracted by a 15 year old student and starting an affair with her is a love story. This is such straight out methodical predation, he went after all of them, all types, all colors of hair and skin, like a robotic monster, such an incredible obsession/addiction.
Edit to add: thinking on it more, there seemed to be no stories of him trying to have a relationship of any kind with the child, like many pedophiles do, just used his doctor status to molest, they are just pieces of meat like, say with Jeffrey Dahmer and his victims.

Yep. I'd put Nasser in a Jeffrey Dahmer catagory. He probably will last as long in prison as Dahmer did.
