Expert: MSU football Title IX report could impact criminal case

East Lansing – While three Michigan State football players have been found to have violated university policy in a recently completed Title IX investigation, it could have an effect on whether criminal charges are pursued.

On Tuesday, Karen Truszkowski, a Lansing attorney representing the alleged victim, said the three suspended players are currently going through Michigan State’s student conduct system after the report completed last week determined the players had, in fact, violated school policy.

According to former federal prosecutor Shanlon Wu, there’s a chance that could lead to prosecutors opting not to press criminal charges.
