Lawmakers: MSU mishandled Nassar investigation

LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) — Members of the Michigan House of Representatives are recommending ways to prevent sexual abuse after an inquiry into Michigan State University's handling of convicted molester Larry Nassar found he "spent decades developing his ability to abuse patients without detection," according to a report released Thursday.

The findings state 243 survivors have reported Nassar to the MSU Police Department since 2014.

Additionally, House members discovered 91 complaints have been filed with the university since Kalamazoo native Rachael Denhollander filed the 2016 Title IX complaint that ultimately led to the once-famed doctor spending the rest of his life in prison for sexually abusing athletes under the guise of providing treatment.

Before that, several women testified their complaints of abuse were ignored by university employees.
