Give me 5 mins alone in a room with this demon

Dad’s plea as he tries to attack paedo doc

THE father of three of Larry Nassar’s victims tried to attack the disgraced US gymnastics doctor in court.

“Let me have that son of a bitch,” Randall Margraves yelled as he ran towards the witness box where the paedophile was sitting.

“Just give me one minute with that bastard.”

Margraves began swearing at Nassar after daughters Lauren and Madison Rae finished giving victim-impact statements yesterday – their sister is also said to have been abused by him.

Before lunging at the former Team USA doctor, Margraves begged the judge: “Grant me five minutes in a locked room with this demon.” She replied: “You know I can’t.” Margraves was blocked by Nassar’s lawyer and at least three deputies in the Michigan court. He was held but released without charge. The drama came during the final hearing for Nassar, 54, who abused at least 265 people. He has been sentenced to 40–175 years’ jail plus 60 years for child abuse images.
