Looks like the fox was guarding the henhouse.

That's clear if the accusations are true about William Strampel, the former dean of the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Strampel was charged Tuesday in East Lansing District Court with misconduct in office, fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of willful neglect of duty in connection with the Larry Nassar scandal.

As Nassar's boss, Strampel appears to have turned a blind eye to years of sexual misconduct involving Nassar, a renowned sports medicine doctor who abused hundreds of student athletes and Olympic gymnasts in the guise of medical care.

Worse, the allegations against Strampel suggest he did more than look the other way when it came to Nassar's decades-long pattern of sexual assault. He might also have been a willing participant in the abuse of young women at MSU.

Bill Forsyth, a retired Kent County prosecutor, was hired in January by state Attorney General Bill Schuette to serve as a special prosecutor to investigate how Nassar was able to prey on girls and young women on the East Lansing campus for so long. He has built an investigative team that includes the Michigan State Police and several assistant state attorneys general.

The first thing Forsyth did was ask MSU to provide Strampel's computer, cell phone, work-issued calendar and documents, he told journalists Tuesday at a packed news conference in Lansing.

"Before Michigan State was able to respond, ... we received a credible tip with respect to Dean Strampel, which we felt to be time-sensitive," Forsyth said. "In response to that, we issued a search warrant and took them."

Discovered on Strampel's computer was a pornographic video of Nassar performing a so-called treatment on a young female patient.

Investigators also found "approximately 50 photos of bare vaginas, nude and semi-nude women, sex toys and pornography. Many of these photos are what appear to be 'selfies' of female MSU students, as evidenced by the MSU clothing and piercings featured in multiple photos. Forensic examination shows someone attempted to delete some of the photos contained in a file folder on the computer's hard drive."

Three female medical school students also told investigators of instances when Strampel assaulted them, solicited nude photos or harassed them.

"As dean of the college, Strampel abused the authority of his public office, through threats and manipulation, to solicit, receive and possess pornographic images of women who appear to be MSU students in violation of his statutory duty as a public officer," the affidavit reads.

And that's a big, big problem for one of the state's largest and most prestigious public universities, which now faces lawsuits brought by dozens of girls and women who say MSU knew or should have known Nassar was sexually abusing them, and failed to protect them.

According to the affidavit, this case appears to offer evidence that someone high up in the university's administration knew about Nassar. And not only did he fail to take action to protect women and girls, he may have engaged in similar behavior.

In April 2014, when a patient complained about Nassar's sexual misconduct during a treatment session in his MSU office, the university's Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives opened a Title IX investigation of the complaint.

Strampel told Nassar he couldn't treat patients during the investigation, but a few months later — and before the investigation was complete — Nassar was back to work.

Strampel authorized it, saying, "If you do have a patient scheduled, please be sure you have someone in the room with you at all times."

Following the 2014 Title IX investigation of Nassar's conduct, Strampel put some measures in place to protect patients, requiring that Nassar have another person (medical resident or nurse) in the room when performing a procedure "close to a sensitive area" and that he avoid skin-to-skin contact in those regions of the body. "Should this be absolutely necessary, the procedure will be explained in detail with another person in the room for both the explanation and procedure," Strampel wrote in an e-mail to Nassar.

However, Strampel didn't enforce or monitor those protocols involving Nassar, the court documents show. Strampel also didn't alert other employees at the Sports Medicine Clinic about the new requirements, Forsyth's affidavit suggests.

Forsyth noted the investigation into wrongdoing at MSU continues, though he didn't offer any clues about whether more charges are likely.

It's also unclear whether MSU will face sanctions from the NCAA, although the latest allegations against Strampel certainly won't help the university's case.

The NCAA launched an investigation in January of the MSU athletic department's handling of claims of Nassar's abuse. Its board of governors enacted a new policy earlier this month requiring presidents, athletic directors and Title IX officers fill out forms that show they are educating staff members and students about sexual violence.

And perhaps that's the only bit of good news in this ordeal: The Attorney General's Office and the NCAA, are taking sexual assault on campus more seriously.

They're talking about it, and they're taking steps to ensure that people understand all the foxes will face consequences for what they knew and failed to act upon.

According to a court record, William Strampel is charged with fourth degree criminal sexual conduct, two counts of willful neglect of duty and common law offenses.

Fourth degree CSC includes force or coercion. It's expected Strampel will be arraigned on these charges in Ingham County on Tuesday afternoon.

Also Tuesday, the special prosecutor handling the investigation into MSU and Nassar will provide an update to the public.

William Forsyth will provide the update around 11:30 a.m. and be joined by others from the Michigan Attorney General's Office and Michigan State Police.</s>DETROIT (Reuters) - Charges will be announced on Tuesday against a former Michigan State University dean who supervised ex-USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar before Nassar was convicted of sexually abusing female athletes, a county sheriff said.

William Strampel, 70, the former dean of Michigan State’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, was being held in the Ingham County jail and will be arraigned in court on Tuesday, when charges against him will be announced, Ingham County Sheriff Scott Wriggelsworth told Reuters.

Strampel faces multiple charges, at least one a felony, the Detroit Free Press newspaper reported. Wriggelsworth declined to say what charges Strampel faces. Strampel’s attorney could not be reached for comment on Monday after his arrest.

The special prosecutor investigating how Michigan State University handled complaints about Nassar, who has been sentenced to prison for sexually abusing female gymnasts, is also expect to give an update on his investigation on Tuesday.

William Forsyth, a retired Kent County prosecutor, will be joined by representatives from the Michigan State Police and the state Attorney General’s Office, when he speaks to reporters at noon ET on Tuesday in Lansing, Michigan.

Nassar received two prison sentences in Michigan of 40 to 125 years and 40 to 175 years for molesting female athletes under the guise of medical treatment.

The university has been criticized for its handling of the scandal. Athletes had been complaining about Nassar since the 1990s, but the university did not open an investigation until 2014.

The case of Nassar, 54, has rocked the university, where he was a faculty member and physician at an on-campus clinic. He also worked for USA Gymnastics as a doctor to Olympic athletes, leading to the resignation of the entire board of the sport’s governing body.

In January, Michigan State University President Lou Anna Simon stepped down under pressure and Athletic Director Mark Hollis announced his retirement. Both said they were unaware of Nassar’s abuse until it was reported publicly.

In February, the school moved to fire Strampel, who it said failed to enforce 2014 guidelines created for Nassar in treating young athletes after complaints of sexual misconduct against him. Michigan State fired Nassar in September 2016.

Michigan State also faces investigations by the U.S. Department of Education, the National Collegiate Athletics Association, the U.S. Senate and the Michigan House of Representatives.</s>EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The sexual abuse scandal at Michigan State University widened Tuesday when authorities charged a former dean with failing to protect patients from sports doctor Larry Nassar, along with sexually harassing female students and pressuring them for nude selfies.

William Strampel, 70, is the first person charged since an investigation was launched in January into how Michigan State handled complaints against Nassar, who for years sexually violated girls and young women, especially gymnasts, with his fingers during examinations.

Strampel, who as dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine oversaw the clinic where Nassar worked, neglected his duty to enforce examining-room restrictions imposed on Nassar after a patient accused the doctor in 2014 of sexual contact, authorities alleged.

Nassar was not supposed to treat patients near any “sensitive areas” on the body without a chaperone present. Because Strampel did not follow up to make sure Nassar was complying, he was able to commit a host of additional sexual assaults until he was fired two years later, prosecutors said.

The criminal complaint also accused Strampel of soliciting nude photos from at least one female medical student and using his office to “harass, discriminate, demean, sexually proposition, and sexually assault female students in violation of his statutory duty as a public officer.”

His work computer was found to contain about 50 photos of female genitalia, nude and semi-nude women, sex toys and pornography, prosecutors said. “Many of these photos are of what appear to be ‘selfies’ of female MSU students, as evidenced by the MSU clothing and piercings featured in multiple photos,” according to the complaint.

It said the computer also had a video of Nassar “performing a ‘treatment’ on a young female patient.” It was not immediately clear whether the video was considered evidence of inappropriate behavior by Strampel. Defense attorney John Dakmak said it most likely was one that Nassar widely used to show certain techniques.

Strampel was accused also of grabbing two students’ buttocks at the college’s annual ball and a scholarship dinner.

He spent Monday night in jail and was released Tuesday on $25,000 bail. The felony and misdemeanor charges — misconduct in office, criminal sexual conduct and two counts of neglect of duty — carry maximum penalties ranging from a year to five years behind bars.

“My client denies that he ever engaged in any inappropriate touching of anyone, any student or otherwise,” Dakmak said. “He denies that there was any quid pro quo for sexual favors in exchange for any type of standing within the university, or the medical school.”

The defense attorney also disputed the notion that Strampel neglected his duty to oversee Nassar, saying it was the responsibility of the university’s Title IX investigators to ensure Nassar abided by the restrictions on his practice.

Bill Forsyth, who was hired by Michigan’s attorney general to investigate the university, would not discuss the photos on Strampel’s computer or precisely how Strampel obtained them.

“This is an ongoing investigation,” Forsyth said at a news conference. “We would encourage anybody with information, whether it be about former Dean Strampel or whether it’s about anything at Michigan State that they’re concerned about, call the hotline at the attorney general’s office and report that.”

Nassar, 54, pleaded guilty to molesting patients and possessing child pornography and was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison earlier this year after roughly 200 women gave powerful statements against him in two courtrooms over 10 extraordinary days.

Strampel told authorities in 2017 that he did not check to see if Nassar was obeying the examining-room restrictions because Nassar had been “exonerated” in an investigation by police and the university. At least 12 reported assaults occurred after the probe ended, according to university police.

Nassar was fired in 2016 for violating the chaperone rules. Strampel announced his leave of absence as dean — citing medical reasons — in December. In February, interim Michigan State President John Engler announced plans to fire Strampel, who still has tenure that protects his employment as a faculty member.

In a statement, Engler said the charges against Strampel “confirm our belief that he has fallen far short of what is expected and required from academic leadership.”

More than 250 girls and women have sued Michigan State, Strampel and other current and former university officials, USA Gymnastics — where Nassar also worked — and others. In a court filing Tuesday, the parties said they are restarting talks that could lead to a settlement. The mediator will be Layn Phillips, a former federal judge in Oklahoma.

Ray Cassar, a Detroit-area defense attorney not involved in the case, said prosecutors might have a hard time proving the neglect-of-duty charges against Strampel.

“He may have had a moral duty or ethical duty. But they’re going to have to show he had an actual legal duty,” Cassar said. “Does the dean of the medical school have a duty to check every single employee to see if they’re complying with his directives?”</s>Convicted serial sexual predator Larry Nassar's boss at Michigan State has been arrested.

Dr. William Strampel, 70, was listed Monday as an inmate in Ingham County, Mich., jail, according to an inmate search on the county's website conducted by MLive.com. No charges were listed, according to the report.

The former dean of the Michigan State's College of Osteopathic Medicine, Strampel is accused of failing to monitor Nassar and enforce guidelines put into place after Nassar was investigated in 2014 for sexual harassment.

Michigan State confirmed Strampel's arrest but didn't provide any other details.

Nassar, already in prison for possessing child pornography, has been sentenced to 40 to 175 years for sexually assaulting girls and women across multiple sports at Michigan State and with the national gymnastics program, including U.S. Olympic teams.

Almost two dozen women say they were molested by Nassar after Strampel allowed him to continue working in the department following the 2014 investigation.

The university is taking steps to terminate Strampel, MLive.com reported.

News of his arrest comes as the state attorney general's lead investigator into how Michigan State handled the Nassar scandal is scheduled to conduct a news conference Tuesday, presumably regarding his findings.</s>The former Michigan State University dean who served as the boss of convicted child abuser Larry Nassar was arrested Monday night.

William Strampel, the former dean of Michigan State’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, was booked in the Ingham County Jail, according to police records. His booking record did not list charges as of Tuesday morning.

Strampel’s arrest comes as the state’s Attorney General office is investigating Michigan State in the months after Nassar, a former physician for the university and U.S.A. gymnastics, admitted to sexually assaulting and abusing more than 150 girls and women throughout his career. In January, Nassar, 54, was sentenced to a maximum of 175 years in prison.

Strampel, 70, was arrested ahead of a scheduled update on the investigation from Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette’s office on Tuesday. A representative from Schuette’s office did not immediately respond to request for comment.

A representative from the Ingham Sheriffs Department told TIME that Strampel’s arraignment will occur sometime Tuesday. His charges will be announced at that time.

Strampel stepped down from his role as dean — a role he filled since 2002 and throughout Nassar’s career at the university — in December of 2017, citing health reasons. University officials have since taken steps to revoke his tenured position as a faculty member. A February letter to the school’s provost from Carol Viventi, the vice president and special counsel to Michigan State’s president, said Strampel “failed to monitor and enforce clinical practice guidelines put in place for former doctor Larry Nassar following the conclusion of a 2014 sexual harassment investigation.”

That 2014 investigation had resulted in a number of guidelines for Nassar to follow to continue his work at the university, including having another person present in the room during certain procedures. According to Viventi’s letter, Strampel had failed to notify other relevant Michigan State officials about the guidance and did not monitor or enforce the requirements.

“William Strampel did not act with the level of professionalism we expect from individuals who hold senior leadership positions, particularly in a position that involves student and patient safety,” interim Michigan State President John Engler said in a statement in February.

“We are sending an unmistakable message today that we will remove employees who do not treat students, faculty, staff, or anyone else in our community in an appropriate matter.”

Michigan State had fired Nassar in September 2016 following an Indianapolis investigation into the former gymnastics doctor. Amid intense criticism over its handling of the Nassar case, former Michigan State President Lou Anna Simon and former Michigan State Athletic Director Mark Hollis stepped down from their positions earlier this year.

“Our clients are encouraged by the Attorney General’s action today,” attorney John Manly, who represented more than 150 survivors of Nassar’s abuse, said in a statement, according to the Detroit . “It demonstrates that he is serious about investigating the systemic misconduct at MSU that led to the largest child sex abuse scandal in history and holding the responsible parties accountable.”</s>The sexual abuse scandal at Michigan State University widened Tuesday when authorities charged a former dean not only with failing to keep sports doctor Larry Nassar in line but with sexually harassing female students and pressuring them for nude selfies.William Strampel, 70, is the first person charged since an investigation was launched in January into how Michigan State handled complaints against Nassar, who for years sexually violated girls and young women, especially gymnasts, with his fingers during examinations.Strampel was dean until December of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, where he oversaw the clinic where Nassar worked, yet he failed to enforce restrictions he imposed on Nassar after a female patient accused him in 2014 of sexual contact, authorities alleged.Nassar was not supposed to administer any treatment to patients near any "sensitive areas" without a chaperone present.

A medical student at the school had accused William Strampel, the 70-year-old former dean of its College of Osteopathic Medicine, of forcible sexual contact, prosecutors said in papers filed in state district court in East Lansing. Prosecutors said other students also accused Strampel of various incidents of sexual misconduct.

Strampel had supervised ex-USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar, who has been sentenced to prison for sexually abusing female gymnasts. He now faces charges that extend beyond the scandal with athletes and include Strampel’s own dealings with female medical students.

The Nassar scandal has reverberated far beyond Michigan, sparking investigations into why the U.S. Olympic Committee, the sport’s governing body, USA Gymnastics and the university failed to investigate complaints going back years.

A lawyer for Strampel did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A Michigan State representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Four female medical students told investigators Strampel made sexually suggestive comments during meetings about their academic careers, including what some perceived as academic privileges in exchange for sex. Two women accused him of grabbing their buttocks without consent.

According to court papers, one witness told investigators Strampel asked her, “What do I have to do to teach you to be submissive and subordinate to men?”

The case of Nassar, 54, led to the resignation of the entire board of USA Gymnastics and also rocked the university, where he was a faculty member and physician at an on-campus clinic.

Nassar received two prison sentences in Michigan of 40 to 125 years and 40 to 175 years for abusing female athletes under the guise of medical treatment.
