Story summary

Larry Nassar, the former sports physician convicted of sexually abusing hundreds of young female athletes, has been removed from the Michigan Sex Offender Registry. This decision is a result of a recent ruling by the Michigan Supreme Court on September 9, which stated that amendments to the state's Sex Offender Registration Act cannot be applied retroactively for crimes committed before July 1, 2011. As Nassar’s offenses predate this date, he is no longer required to remain on the public registry despite his convictions coming later. More than 20,000 individuals were purged from the registry following this ruling by Michigan State Police. The Eaton County Prosecutor's Office criticized the removal, arguing that it undermines public safety and fails to hold such offenders accountable.
