Michigan prosecutor objects after Larry Nassar removed from state sex offender registry

The ruling affects more than 20,000 registrants and leaves Nassar’s convictions and prison sentences unchanged, officials said.

  • 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.
