LANSING, Mich. - Michigan’s attorney general on Wednesday said her communications director’s statement announcing the suspension of a nearly two-year criminal investigation into Michigan State University’s handling of complaints against serial sexual abuser Larry Nassar was “inadvertently misleading.”Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a written statement that the investigation is ongoing. “A recent comment from our communications director regarding our department’s investigation ... was inadvertently misleading and demands clarification,” Nessel said in the statement. YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN...“At minimum, I should have used ‘temporarily suspended.’ ‘Impasse’ is more precise,” she said. The attorney general’s office had wanted to talk to Engler about campus changes after the sex-assault scandal involving Nassar, who molested athletes under the guise of treatment. Nassar is effectively serving life in prison for possessing child pornography and sexually assaulting athletes, mostly female gymnasts, at Michigan State and Twistars.
