Ex-UM player says Bo 'allowed kids ... to continue to be assaulted'

Novi — The son of former University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler and two former players spoke Thursday about their allegations thatthe coach knew they were sexually abused by Dr. Robert Anderson but did nothing to stop it.

Matt Schembechler and former Wolverines Daniel Kwiatkowski and Gilvanni Johnson spoke at a news conference at the Sheraton Detroit Novi, saying they were assaulted several times by Anderson and alerted the coach.

"Don't get me wrong, Bo was a good coach," said Johnson. "But, for me, in my remembrance of him at this point, is he allowed kids 17 or 18 years old to continue to be assaulted when he could have did something about it.
