Larry Nassar's medical license in the state of Michigan has been permanently revoked.

Larry Nassar's medical license in the state of Michigan has been permanently revoked, the Attorney General's Office said.

Last year, a state disciplinary board revoked it for three years after the AG's Office submitted an administrative complaint.

"A couple of months ago, Attorney General Schuette filed a second administrative complaint against Lawrence Nassar based on his CSC convictions," spokeswoman Andrea Bitely said in a statement. "We did this because under the first administrative complaint, we couldn’t get a permanent revocation of Nassar’s medical license (because of the limitations in the Public Health Code)."

She added that the Board of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery's disciplinary board permanently revoked Nassar’s medical license on Thursday morning and fined him $1 million, to be paid after any other fines, restitution, and criminal penalties.

Nassar, 54, formerly of Holt, is serving a 60-year federal sentence on three child pornography convictions. He was also sentenced to decades in prison for sexually assaulting nine women, including one who wasn't a patient.

The AG's Office prosecuted Nassar on the sexual assault charges.

Nassar was once a famed Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics doctor, but sexually assaulted hundreds of women and girls during medical appointments during his nearly 20-year career.
