#2 - Larry Nassar sexually assaulted patients wherever and whenever he could

It didn't matter when it was or where it was. Nassar took every possible opportunity that he could to sexually assault his patients. Such places where he sexually assaulted his patients included hotel rooms, regular operating rooms, his own basement, and their cabins at the Károlyi Ranch.

One such instance during which Nassar assaulted a gymnast in a hotel room took place in 2011. Nassar had given McKayla Maroney, who went on to complete in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England for the United States Olympic women's gymnastics team, a sleeping pill on the flight to Tokyo, Japan for the world championships.

Here is what happened afterward, according to Rebecca Davis O'Brien and Louise Radnofsky of The Wall Street Journal.

"Nassar climbed on top of Ms. Maroney, who lay facedown on a hotel bed disoriented from the pill, says a person familiar with the episode. He removed some of her clothing and, straddling her hips, reached his hand behind his back and put his fingers inside her, rubbing his erection against her body."
