A woman says she was drugged and raped by Larry Nassar when he was a medical student in 1992 but that police at Michigan State refused to investigate and athletic director and football coach George Perles was aware of it and covered it up.
A lawsuit was filed Monday, a deadline for certain legal claims against Michigan State. After medical school, Nassar became a sports doctor at MSU and for elite U.S. gymnasts. Numerous gymnasts have accused him of sexual assault and he is now in prison.
The woman said she had a knee injury as a 17-year-old field hockey player and went to Nassar because he was conducting a study about flexibility.
She said Nassar drugged her, raped her and videotaped the assault. She says she became pregnant and had a miscarriage. Michigan State said it's "looking into the situation."
