Pat Perles, the son of former Michigan State football coach and current Board of Trustee member George Perles says the claims that his father helped cover up a rape by Larry Nassar in 1992 is "a fabrication."
A federal lawsuit filed by former MSU athlete Erika Davis alleges that Nassar raped her in the spring of 1992, when she was a member of the women's field hockey team and he was a student at the school's College of Osteopathic Medicine.
