Michigan Police Department to Apologize regarding Nassar
Nassar
A police department in the Lansing  Michigan  area missed an opportunity to pursue criminal charges in 2004 against  Larry Nassar  and will publicly apologize to the victim who accused the doctor of molesting  her  during treatment for an abnormal spine  an official said Wednesday.
 Nassar  who was a sports doctor at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics   convinced police that  he  had performed a legitimate procedure with  his  hands and even provided a PowerPoint presentation to explain. The case was dropped  effectively allowing  him  to continue to molest girls and young women  including Olympians  for years until  his  arrest in 2016. A total of 265 women and girls have said they were assaulted.
The township released the 2004 police report on Randall-Gay's allegations against  Nassar . Walsh said the township was told to withhold it from the public until  Nassar  was sentenced last week to 40 to 175 years in prison for sexually assaulting young women and girls in Ingham County. Another sentencing is underway this week in a similar case in Eaton County.
In 2004  Randall-Gay was 17 when she and her mother visited  Nassar  to discuss treatment for scoliosis  a curvature of the spine.  He  sent her to physical therapy but saw her again  this time alone.
Randall-Gay had a back problem. But she told police that  Nassar  had removed her underwear  forcibly cupped her genitals with  his  hand and rubbed her breasts â all without gloves.
 Nassar  told police  he  applied pressure to the "perineum " using a formal word for an area between the legs  and said it was done to manipulate a ligament  according to the report.
 Nassar  provided a paper version of a PowerPoint presentation about the ligament procedure  titled "The Grand Junction." There's no indication that police shared his technical explanation with an outside expert. The case was closed.
Walsh said questions about the investigation will be answered during a news conference Thursday with the police chief and Randall-Gay  who now lives in Washington state. Meridian Township paid for her to travel to Michigan to testify at  Nassar 's sentencing last week.
Back in 2004   Nassar  "had the audacity to tell (police) I misunderstood the treatment because I was not comfortable with my body " Randall-Gay said.
It was not the only investigation over the years. A Michigan State University police investigation ended in 2014 with no charges filed. Another investigation by the university  required under federal anti-discrimination law  cleared Nassar of assault.
