Michigan police clarify Nassar not on registry due to out-of-state prison, not court ruling

Michigan State Police have clarified that Larry Nassar is not on the state’s sex offender registry because he is incarcerated out of state, not because he was removed under a recent Supreme Court ruling. The court’s decision to strike 20,000 names from the registry for pre-2011 offenses has sparked debate, with prosecutors initially claiming Nassar was among the removed, a claim later corrected.

Michigan Supreme Court ruling strips 20,000 names from sex offender registry, including Larry Nassar

The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the 2011 Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) cannot be applied retroactively to crimes committed before July 1, 2011. Consequently, the Michigan State Police removed over 20,000 individuals, including disgraced former gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, from the public registry. While Nassar remains in prison and still legally required to register if released, the decision has sparked outrage among prosecutors and survivor advocates who view the removal as a safety risk.
