Michigan State University has reached a $500 million settlement with the hundreds of women and girls who say they were sexually abused by sicko sports doctor Larry Nassar.

The settlement was announced Tuesday by the university – where the depraved ex-USA Gymnastics doctor was on staff – and lawyers representing his more than 300 victims.

“Michigan State has shown leadership by its willingness to begin closing this dark chapter,” Jamie White, one of the attorneys suing MSU, told the Lansing State Journal. “The victims of Nassar can never be made whole but this is a step in the right direction.”

Nassar, who worked for the Olympic governing body of gymnastics and MSU for decades, has been sentenced to three prison terms — two for his sex abuse crimes and another for federal child pornography charges.
