Former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar, who is currently involved in a four-day sentencing hearing after pleading guilty to molesting seven underage girls, wrote a letter to the judge complaining that it’s too hard to listen to the testimonies of his alleged victims.

By the time sentencing hearing proceedings end on Friday, approximately 100 women who allege Nassar sexual assaulted them will have given their testimonies before the court.

"(County Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina) is allowing them all to talk," Nassar wrote according to NBC News. "She wants me to sit in the witness box next to her for all four days so the media cameras will be directed at her."

Nassar is accused of sexually abusing more than 140 girls and women and is currently serving a 60-year sentence in federal prison for child pornography.

“I don't have a dog in this fight, sir,” Aquilina said in court Thursday, according to NBC News. “I didn't want even one victim to lose their voice... Spending four or five days listening to them is significantly minor considering the hours of pleasure you had at their expense and ruining their lives.”

When the hearing concludes, Nassar will be sentenced either Friday or into next week.
