All but one of the seven people charged with stealing money from a fund set up to aid the women and girls disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar sexually abused have now been sentenced.
The sixth defendant, Mary Riley, was sentenced Friday to three years of probation after pleading guilty to a charge of false pretenses of $20,000 or more. She was ordered to pay $41,243 in restitution to MSU.
In all, the seven people charged are accused of fraudulently receiving more than $527,000 from the fund.

All seven defendants were offered the same plea: three years of probation and no jail time as long as they paid restitution to the university fund. The defendants face up to a year in jail if they don't pay the restitution.
Everyone but one person — Maxann Reese — has taken the plea deal and been sentenced. Each said they were not Nassar victims and did not receive the services they submitted invoices for.
