MSU Public Relations
The hits just keep coming.

And, I do not mean to make to take this situation lightly, or disrespect the victims of these horrible acts. I hope the victims eventually find peace, to the extent possible, within the legal system.

While we all take glee in staee's 3-9 season/bad spelling/arrogant coaches, these alleged actions by this monster are truly disgusting and vile! It is said that so many young women were victimized for so long and he was given a free pass all this time and only after so many years is something being done now. Like the OP said, may the victims some day find peace and closure for what they have endured and that this menace gets his just punishment.

...And MSU is hardly alone. It is lost in me how institutions purporting to be all about the growth and safety of its students allow these crimes to be swept under the carpet for years (or decades). How can people like the MSU gymnastics coach look at themselves in the mirror? I'm not naive and realize if this can happen in State College or East Lansing or Waco it can happen anywhere. Including Ann Arbor. Here is hoping we have the quality of people and all the necessary procedures in place to make sure the students of our great university can never be so victimized.

U of M had a doc in the teaching program at the Hospital who got caught with child porn, they kept him on staff and payroll for a year before the pressure got too much for them.

I can do better if it pleases the court?

...let's agree that prison rape isn't advocated as the remedy to non-prison rape, or anything else for that matter. Okay?

One of the greatest Tool songs ever! Whoops that was prison sex

I remember learning about the concept of "eye for an eye" when we studied the Code of Hammurabi in 6th Grade social studies. Even at age 12, I found it easy to understand.
Now, I certainly don't think it should be the basis of the American criminal justice system. But at the same time, if this form of rough justice gets meted out behind bars to someone who's guilty of the same, I'm not going to cry me a river. I prefer to save my sympathy for the original victims.

I've never been one to pile on to a predator. My heart just aches for the victims. Its just a sad situation all around. Beyond punishment for the perp, I really really hope that the institutional safeguards from universities to law enforcement to social welfare services step their games up and step in earlier. Its easy to look for justice though punishment, but I believe that true justice comes from doing our best to prevent this stuff from happening or, at the very least, intervene as early as possible.

I should've worded that better. I mean I feel like people are like "fuck that guy" or "I hope he rots in jail" just to make themselves feel better about themselves or to pat themselves on the back.

How come there is no thread on Johnson not going to Michigan but Oregon instead. News just broke. Screwed by NCAA again. Ugh...

If you went to Michigan or identify yourself in anyway to the school, these days you have to find a way to activate yourself in a more meaninful way than indulging in schaudenfreud over some pretty grizzly details. Michigan State may be our little brother, but also brother. Rivalry should end when the clock hits 00:00:00.

Right, keep wagging your finger till every MSU fan writes you a personal letter of appology.
How many have you written for bad things Michigan alums have done?
And what does outrage mean? Writing mean spirited posts on mgoblog?

Hi gregg henson,
nobody is in denial. the MSU fanbase is outraged and embarrassed. Most are calling for house-cleaning, including some pretty highly ranked football recruits from last year.
You're just a really stupid fucking asshole.
You'd rather have dozens of girls to get raped or assaulted than not, as long as it gives you something to shit-talk MSU about.
ya dipshit.

So you claim you are not trying to make light of the situation but your title is "MSU Public Relations"? Gotcha.

Or will that be a different set of charges yet to be filed? The coach had to retire suddenly for a reason - she had knowledge about allegations made against the team doctor, by the gymnasts.

Guys like this should just be castrated and then sent to prison. They must be mentally ill to prey on young women. Something has to be seriously wrong. Either way, they need to be locked up, beat up and the key thrown away. Disgusting.
Also, this isn't an MSU issue. This is a societal issue and involves one sick monster. Let's not try and bring down a university because of this a-hole.
