LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette Saturday announced a special prosecutor to investigate "systemic issues with sexual misconduct at Michigan State."
William Forsyth, a retired Kent County prosecutor, will serve as the independent special prosecutor, Schuette said. The Michigan State Police will also provide assistance with any criminal issues that arise as part of the investigation, he said.
During the 20-minute press conference, Schuette spent much of the time outlining how his office prosecuted former MSU doctor Larry Nassar. The process began, according to Schuette, in October of 2016 when MSU Police Chief Jim Dunlap asked for assistance determining which charges to request against Nassar.
