Judge Refuses to Charge Father Who Lunged at Former USA Gymnastics Doctor with Contempt of Court

Randall Margraves, who lunged at convicted sexual abuser Larry Nassar on Friday morning and had to be restrained by deputies, will not be punished by the judge with contempt of court, although the judge will have to decide whether he could face criminal assault charges.

Margraves had hurled himself at Nassar after two of Margraves’ daughters, Lauren and Madison, who had been abused by Nassar, read their statements.

She added, “It is not acceptable that we combat assault with assault.” (Read more from “Judge Refuses to Charge Father Who Lunged at Former USA Gymnastics Doctor with Contempt of Court” HERE)
