Authorities find no smoking gun in Nassar records held by Michigan State University
Michigan's attorney general says records finally given up by Michigan State University don't reveal anything new about convicted sports doctor Larry Nassar
DETROIT (AP) — Thousands of documents turned over by Michigan State University reveal nothing new about what the school might have known about years of sexual abuse committed by Larry Nassar, the campus doctor who assaulted female athletes, the state attorney general said Wednesday.
“It was surprising to me that we did not find anything that was incriminating,” Attorney General Dana Nessel said at a news conference.
“It seems sort of improbable to us, right?” she said. “This is a major university, obviously extensive number of employees that work there. I guess the expectation is that we would find a little bit more than we did.”
Nassar, who also worked for USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians, is serving decades in prison for sexual assault committed under the guise of treatment as well as other crimes. Michigan State in 2018 agreed to a $500 million settlement with hundreds of people, mostly women, who said he abused them with his hands.
