Authorities in Michigan charged Larry Nassar with 22 new counts of sexual assault, the Lansing State Journal's Matt Mencarini reported Wednesday.

Nassar operated a clinic at Michigan State University at which he worked with members of the Spartans' gymnastic team, as well as other gymnasts from the area. According to Mencarini, over half of the 22 new charges relate to Nassar's work at the Michigan State clinic.

The Michigan Attorney General's office first obtained a warrant for Nassar's arrest last November on sexual assault charges. Mencarini and Christopher Haxel reported the alleged assaults occurred from 1998 until 2005 at Nassar's home and involved at least one victim younger than 13.
