Sex abuser Larry Nassar spent $ on himself instead of victims.

Federal prison officials have allowed Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor accused of sexually abusing hundreds of girls and women, to avoid paying financial penalties that are part of his sentence — even as he spent more than $10,000 from his Federal Bureau of Prisons account while behind bars, according to a new court filing.

The spending details are contained in a prosecutor’s motion Wednesday that seeks to force the Bureau of Prisons to turn over Nassar’s current prison account balance to help cover a court-ordered payment of $5,300 to the federal Crime Victims Fund.

Bureau of Prisons officials have required Nassar to pay only about $100 a year, according to court papers, or about $300 since he entered the federal prison system in late 2017 after pleading guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography.

During the same time period, Nassar spent more than $10,000 through his government-run prison account that covers commissary, email and phone expenses, a situation that one former law enforcement official called an egregious example of how the agency fails crime victims.

This is the POS who molested Simone Biles and 367 others.

1. How does anyone have $10000 in a prison account?

Most prisons the limit is around two hundred dollars.

2. unless it's a monthly limit, it's meaningless anyway....

If you can put $200/day in and spend it all, it doesn't matter.

And lets face it, this is all profit for the contractors running the commisary, phones, and email accounts.

It all comes down to money in someone's pocket.

4. Did you notice how little he has to pay the survivors?

$5300. Yet he hasn't done it.

5. true that, but that was a general victim comp fund....

That is managed by a different branch of the prison. It wasn't going to his victims, it's a general fund.

But nonetheless, his payment should come out of his commissary account before he can access any money.

But then the contractor wouldn't get it. It's in the contractors financial interest to let him spend-spend-spend.

6. BOP allows unlimited accounts.
