LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- Lou Anna Simon is scheduled to appear in front of a judge Monday.
The former president of Michigan State University is accused of lying and/or misleading law enforcement during its investigation into what happened at Michigan State while Larry Nassar was a sports doctor there. Nassar is serving a de-facto life sentence in prison for sexually assaulting his patients.
Lee Silver is Simon’s attorney.
“I have not seen a shred of evidence to support these charges, which I believe are completely baseless,” he says.
According to court documents, Simon told law enforcement she didn’t know Nassar was the subject of an investigation in 2014. But officials say they have evidence that shows Simon knew Nassar was being investigated for sexual assault.
