GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Two versions of a report written at the end of a 2014 Title IX investigation at Michigan State University show officials recognized Larry Nassar could be a liability despite telling the complainant otherwise.
Both versions have been submitted as an exhibit in a lawsuit pending in federal court. One was sent to Amanda Thomashow, who filed the complaint after a March 2014 appointment during which she says Nassar groped her, reaching under her clothes. The other was circulated internally at the university.
In January, Thomashow described the assault and the subsequent investigation during Nassar’s marathon sentencing hearing in Ingham County for sexual assault charges.
“I was not one of his younger victims without words to explain what he did,” she recounted during a victim impact statement. “I was a woman in my mid-20s studying to go to medical school and working at a pediatrician’s office. I knew that he had abused me.”
