A former Michigan State University dean had a video on his computer of ex-MSU and USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar abusing a patient, according to a police affidavit.
The former dean, William Strampel, was in charge of the school’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, making him Nassar’s boss. Strampel was arrested Monday on charges of criminal sexual conduct.
The criminal complaint against Strampel alleges he propositioned female medical students for sex, groped them and solicited nude photos from them. Police seized Strampel’s university computer in February and discovered “approximately 50 photos of bare vaginas, nude and semi-nude women, sex toys and pornography.” Many of the photos appear to depict Michigan State students, according to the affidavit.
“Also uncovered on Strampel’s work computer were pornographic videos and a video of Dr. Larry Nassar performing ‘treatment’ on a young female patient,” the affidavit says.
Strampel said in October 2016, two weeks after MSU fired Nassar, that he did not believe the allegations against the disgraced doctor, the Wall Street Journal reported last week.
Strampel allowed Nassar to return to work and resume seeing patients while he was the subject of a Title IX investigation. Nassar continued to abuse patients until he was fired two years later.

It was obvious from the beginning that Nassar couldn't have been acting alone - not in that sort of position.

That is exactly what I thought, too.

Strampel was appointed dean of the medical college in 2002, after serving as acting dean since 2001 and an internal medicine professor. His appointment was celebrated by Lou Anna K. Simon, then the university's provost.
"I join the faculty in being confident that he's the right person to lead this college," Simon said in a statement at the time.
He had a strong background in military medicine before coming to MSU, including serving as special assistant to the U.S. surgeon general. EAST LANSING, MI -- Around 85 students are blocking access to a room where former president Bill Clinton is speaking at 6 p.m. Wednesday to protest white supremacy and institutionalized racism at Michigan State University.
The group listed a series of demands related to university structure, including the creation of a department of African American and African studies, a multicultural center and a college of race, class and gender studies.
The protestors were so loud that they could be heard in the room where Clinton was speaking. Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon left Clinton's speech to talk with the students. It was her dream to get the most land grants of any college and to make MSU a residential collage. She needed the Clintons for that.

Nice digging.
