Schembechler's son to discuss Anderson, says he told father about abuse by UM doctor

The adopted son of the late University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler is coming forward Thursday to speak about how he told his father about being sexually abused by Dr. Robert Anderson, his lawyer said.

Matt Schembechler will discuss his claims that Anderson, a longtime UM physician, abused him when he was 10, and describe telling his dad and the late Athletic Director Director Don Canham, said Okemos-based lawyer Mick Grewal.

Schembechler will be joined by two former UM football players also with claims against Anderson at a 1 p.m. news conference in Novi.
