A Michigan judge ruled Monday that there is enough evidence to try an ex-university president accused of lying to police about serial sexual abuser Larry Nassar.

Judge Julie Reincke said that former Michigan State UFASCR University president Lou Ann Simon appeared to have “knowingly and willfully” deceived two state police investigators in an interview last year about a 2014 Title XI investigation into Nassar, then a gymnastics doctor at the school.

Simon was charged with four crimes — including two felonies — of making false or misleading statements to authorities. She faces a maximum of four years in prison.

Simon told police that she only knew a “a sports medicine doc” was “subject to a review” and denied knowing anything about the substance of the investigation, court documents say.

But the judge said the school’s Title XI coordinator, Paulette Granberry-Russel, had told Simon about the sexual misconduct complaint that triggered the investigation in the spring of 2014.

“The allegations against Nassar aroused serious, very significant concern,” Reincke said, adding that it was “not credible” that Simon would have forgotten about them.

Nassar was ultimately cleared in the investigation. He was first publicly accused of misconduct in an Indianapolis Star report.

After a preliminary hearing earlier this บ้านผลบอล year, Simon’s lawyer, Lee Silver, told the Detroit News that “there wasn’t a shred of evidence” against her and that he believed the charges were a “witch hunt.”

What to i99CLUB do with the building on Wilkins Avenue has been the subject of much debate over the last year. Some wanted to renovate the current building, which had a significant amount of damage, while others wanted to turn the entire building into a memorial.
