WATCH: Victim’s Father Lunges At Convicted Sexual Predator Larry Nassar In Court

Before he rushed towards Nassar, Margraves asked Judge Janice Cunningham whether "a distraught father" could address the court.  He then asked her if she could "grant me five minutes in a locked room with this demon” as part of her sentencing, to which she said that she could not do that.

Then, Margraves asked if he could have one minute alone with Nassar. She then told him that was not possible, to which he said he would have to take his time with him in the court room.  Then, he lunged at Nassar,  where he was able to reach a table where Nassar and two of his attorneys were seated before he was tackled by a host of law enforcement officers in the courtroom.

Officers led Margraves out of the courtroom shortly after they subdued him, as well as Nassar and his attorneys. "I'm sorry that happened. I'm sorry you had to experience it," Cunningham said to the gallery of the courtroom. "My heart started beating fast and my legs felt shaky because of that quick eruption of violence.”  

"To have watched the pain and suffering that loved ones have gone through is unimaginable,” she continued.  "If it is hard and difficult for me to hear what his daughters have to say, I can't imagine what it is like for a parent. No one is making any excuses for what the defendant did in this case. However, these are legal proceedings, and the criminal justice system is doing what it's supposed to do.”
