Michigan State OKs independent probe of handling of Larry Nassar sexual assault complaints
The board of trustees voted unanimously to hire Chicago-based law firm McDermott Will & Emery to investigate and release a public report. The move came about 2½ years after trustees said an internal review was being led by Patrick Fitzgerald, a former Chicago federal prosecutor with the New York-based firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
He credited three Nassar victims — former gymnasts Rachael Denhollander, Sarah Klein and Sterling Riethman — for working with and pushing the trustees to act.State Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is investigating the university's handling of Nassar, questioned the new probe and again called for the school to waive its attorney-client privilege and release documents.
"It should have been done three years ago," she said on Facebook."But is not too late to begin doing what is right, and I support this first step in that direction, while remaining firm that the truth must be told, no matter what the cost."
