A former Michigan State University dean who supervised the doctor at the center of the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal was himself charged on Tuesday with criminal sexual conduct involving medical school students.
A medical student at the school had accused William Strampel, the 70-year-old former dean of its College of Osteopathic Medicine, of forcible sexual contact, prosecutors said in papers filed in state district court in East Lansing. Prosecutors said other students also accused Strampel of various incidents of sexual misconduct.
Strampel was dean from 2002 until the end of 2017, when he left for medical reasons. He supervised ex-USA Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar, who has been sentenced to prison for sexually abusing female gymnasts.
