He is listed in stable condition, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an inmate was assaulted on Sunday afternoon at the United States Penitentiary Coleman II, a high security federal facility in Florida, and said no one else was injured.

Nassar was convicted of state and federal charges for sexually assaulting members of the USA gymnastics team. He’s serving his sentences, which total hundreds of years, at USP Coleman.
