Former Michigan State University sports doctor Larry Nassar is due in court today for hearings on multiple motions including an effort to change the trial location.

Nassar is accused of sexually assaulting multiple gymnasts under the guise of medical treatment. He is in jail awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography. 

Earlier last month, two-time Olympic medalist McKayla Maroney posted on Twitter that she was molested for years by the former USA Gymnastics team doctor. 

The Associated Press reports Nassar is also awaiting trial on criminal sexual conduct charges. He has been sued by more than 125 women alleging abuse. 

Today's hearing is set to begin at noon in Ingham County Circuit Court.
