It’s near impossible to imagine the anguish Randall Margraves felt when facing down Larry Nassar in a Michigan courtroom on Friday, the latter responsible for continued sexual assault against three of Margraves’ daughters.

The sheer scope of Nassar’s abuse is only now coming to be known, more and more victims coming forward with their stories of abuse at the hands of the sports doctor.

On Friday, however, it was the actions of Margraves that were in the spotlight, the father attempting to attack Nassar after a judge denied him a chance at physical retribution.

This one is pretty tough to watch:

Thankfully common sense prevailed, and Eaton County Judge Janice Cunningham declined to punish Margraves for his actions.

He also offered a touching apology, from around 4:30 below:

In case you need a little context as to why Nassar is such a monster, TIME have a quick summary:

Nassar, 54, already will spend the rest of his life in prison. He was sentenced last week to 40 to 175 years in prison for assaults at Michigan State University and his home and was ordered in December to spend 60 years in a federal prison for child pornography crimes.

Nassar pleaded guilty to molesting nine victims in Eaton and Ingham counties, but the courts have been open to anyone who says she was assaulted during his decades of work at Michigan State, Twistars and USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians. More than 200 accusers so far have spoken or submitted statements in the two counties, and at least 80 percent have agreed to be publicly identified.

Pretty sure I’m not alone in thinking that Margraves might have deserved those five minutes with Nassar.
