Dana Nessel's announcement came after the university said it would not change its position that the documents are protected by attorney-client privilege. โThe universityโs refusal to voluntarily provide them closes the last door available to finish our investigation,โ Nessel, a Democrat, said. Nassar was a campus doctor who is now serving decades in prison for sexual assault and child pornography crimes. Former gymnastics coach Kathie Klages was convicted of lying to investigators when she said she didn't get complaints about Nassar.

Read full article: Michigan State University hit with record-breaking fine over Nassar investigationEAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State University has been fined a record $4.5 million in connection with the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal. ORIGINAL STORY: Michigan State University fined $4.5M in sex assault case against Larry NassarAccording to authorities, the rationale for the record-breaking fine starts with how the school handled a report of Nassar's abuse in 2014. The document alleges former Michigan State University President Lou Anna Simon and former provost June Youatt did nothing after receiving complaints about former dean William Strampel's inappropriate language and behavior toward women for 16 years. The $4.5 million fine is the largest Clery Act fine against a school. The prior record-holder was Pennsylvania State University's $2.4 million fine in 2016 for how the school handled Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse scandal.

Simon will appear before a judge for the seventh day in what has become a lengthy preliminary hearing. Detective says he believes Simon lied to investigatorsDuring the hearing last month, a Michigan State Police detective on the case gave an interesting answer when asked if he believed Simon lied, and the judge said something that might offer a hint about her ruling. Simon said she only knew of an issue with a sports medicine doctor, but not that it was Nassar. "I think they provide probable cause that Dr. Simon knew what was going on, and there's a reference to the osteopathic medicine equipment."
