Lawyer: Michigan State hampered probe of its Nassar dealings

DETROIT (AP) — An independent special counsel on Friday accused Michigan State University of stonewalling his investigation into the school’s handling of the sexual abuse scandal involving disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar.

Special counsel Bill Forsyth released a report that accuses the school of fighting the release of certain relevant documents and releasing others that were “irrelevant.” It says these actions hampered the investigation.

“Their biggest concern was the reputation of the university,” Forsyth said at a news conference in Lansing that was streamed live online.

“Just come out with what happened here,” he said.
