MSU is suing ESPN over a public records request for police reports regarding ongoing sexual assault investigations, according to the Lansing State Journal.
An ESPN reporter submitted a Freedom of Information Act request with the university on Feb. 10, according to LSJ. A part of the request asked for records of arrests made from Feb. 6 to Feb. 9, along with police reports containing allegations of sexual assault since Dec. 10, 2016.
MSU provided some of the reports to ESPN, LSJ reports. However, the university withheld others at the request of Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemon's office, which was still deciding whether to issue criminal charges related to certain reports.
