A former babysitter who was abused by ex-Team USA gymnastics sports doctor Larry Nassar has told him in court: "You are a repulsive liar."

Kyle Stephens was the first of dozens who will testify against the 54-year-old this week as he is sentenced.
People in court wept as she told how Nassar convinced her own parents she was lying about the abuse.

Four-time Olympic champion Simone Biles on Monday said she was also sexually abused by Nassar.

At Tuesday's hearing in Lansing, Michigan, former family friend Ms Stephens told Nassar: "You convinced my parents that I was a liar.
"You used my body for six years for your own sexual gratification. That is unforgivable."

Ms Stephens told the court: "I felt I was losing my grip on reality, I started to question whether the abuse ever really happened.

"For my own sanity I forced myself to walk through the abuse step by step so I didn't forget that I was not a liar."

She told the court she continued to babysit for Nassar because she felt protective of the predator's young children and because she needed to pay for her counselling sessions.

"Complex feelings of shame, disgust and self-hatred brought me bouts of depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other compulsive conditions," Ms Stephens said.

"Perhaps you have figured out by now, that little girls don't stay little forever. They grow into strong women that return to destroy your world."
Judge Rosemarie Aquilina is expected to hand down a sentence on Friday.

Nassar pleaded guilty to molesting females at his home, at a gymnastics club and in his Michigan State University office.

He has been accused of molesting about 100 girls while he was a physician for USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians.
Prosecutors are seeking at least 40 years in prison.

He has already been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison for child pornography crimes
