Michigan prosecutor objects after Larry Nassar removed from state sex offender registry
The ruling leaves his prison sentences unchanged while Michigan authorities say more than 20,000 offenders were removed from the registry.
- On Thursday, the Eaton County Prosecutor's Office confirmed disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar and more than 20,000 others were removed from Michigan's sex offender registry following a Michigan Supreme Court ruling.
- The Michigan Supreme Court unanimously ruled on September 9 that 2021 amendments to the Sex Offender Registration Act cannot be applied retroactively to crimes committed before July 1, 2011, deeming such enforcement unconstitutional.
- Despite the registry removal, Nassar remains fully incarcerated, serving consecutive state and federal sentences totaling decades for sexual abuse and child pornography; officials emphasized the ruling has no impact on underlying convictions.
- Eaton County Prosecutor Doug Lloyd labeled the decision "deeply concerning," arguing it diminishes public protection and victim awareness while urging the legislature to address registry laws rather than courts.
- With the November 3, 2026, election approaching, the ruling has become a political flashpoint, prompting calls for state lawmakers to intervene as policy changes must occur through the legislature.
