Lawsuit: Perles covered up Nassar rape in 1992

In hindsight the reaction and actions of the Board of Trustree's per Nasser make more sense now, yes?

Fuck, this is some Girl with the Dragon Tattoo shit.

So the head of the MSU Athletic Department covered up rape of a student athlete by a department sanctioned physician.  Ever a more clear cut case of lack of institutional control, I haven't seen it.  Quantifying this in the language of NCAA regulations actually doesn't even come close to being adequate.

Fuck these people with a barbed broomstick, right in the ass, in the middle of hell.

Disgusting.

So do the Feds have to get involved to get all these fucks in prison? 

Two things:

1) We have had cause to suspect Nassar taped some of his assaults, at least some reporting have indicated that some of the child pornography he was cited for in federal court was self-produced.

2) I don't think any previous Nassar victim has alleged anything beyond digital penetration.  At least as I remember the impact statements.  That would somehow escalate his crimes, which I didn't really think possible.

A lot of this stuff seems like it should be verifiable from other people.

She has a first-rate lawyer.  Brian McKeen isn't a publicity hound but he is extremely effective in representing his clients.  He is very successful and can be very selective about the cases he takes.  We will see what comes out but when I saw he was the plaintiff's lawyer it added about 10x to the credibility of the allegations.  

Since Nike is taking Social Issues head on now - should they consider pulling their gear from MSU athletics?

This is Penn State level excrement. Some outside law enforcement agency please step in and do what's right!! Man, our world is so disturbing at times.Sadly, I don't think they'll ever truly get to the bottom of this simply because no one wants too.

Perles = Dantonio = Hollis = Izzo

Only the names have changed.

What a cesspool.

This is disgusting beyond words.  And Nassar is a bigger POS than I ever imagined.  This whole ordeal didn't start with Kathy Klages not believing three victims in 1996.  And this 1992 rape may not be the first incident either.  He had to have started right out of the gate.  

Perles was good friends with Bo.  I wonder what Bo would have to think about his longtime friend doing this.  Seriously, Perles can rot in hell.  Paterno will show you the way.  

How is it that Michigan State still has an Athletic Department at this point?  These people were monsters. 

There should be a whole gaggle of people in jail for life.

The entire MSU athletic department needs to be shuttered immediately, and I sincerely hope there is a hell for all involved to burn in. 

Aaaaand...unfortunately, nothing will come of this, because:

1. There will be no record of her reporting this to the police (surprise!)
2. The officer that told her to drop it is NEVER going to admit to speaking with her, though even if they can prove that, he'll never cop to saying any of what the allege
3. The athletic department will simply have a record of a report that was dismissed for whatever reason they provided at the time
4. If any evidence at all exists that Perles intervened, it will undoubtedly"not exist" very soon, given that MSU has already shown a certain proclivity for CYA no matter what
5. Poof, it is gone.

Their only hope is that there is evidence of forcing the coach to return the video and her dismissal that is somehow damning enough to get a conviction.

Wait I thought MSU was cleared of all wrongdoing 2 days before the start of football season. wtf?

Dear God. 

It's sort of forgotten, but he also had a season full of wins vacated because of grade tampering and other such infractions.  Like, this guy has a record of being shady, though I'll admit that covering up a rape wasn't something I would have assumed until, oh, a year ago.

Absolutely disgusting. Can’t believe this went on for so long without SOMEONE busting Nassar. What in the world is wrong with people? 

It may be hard to prove true, but Perles was AD at the time.  Shouldn't the whole athletic department get a punishment?

This serves as a good riposte for the people criticizing Brian’s Iowa post.  People claimed that  college sports in particular wasn’t making things worse than they already were.  But here we can see that’s false.  Fucking Perles is only “a powerful man” because of fucking college sports.  That’s the way he every position of power he’s ever held (he wasn’t elected because of his astonishing wit!).  We let universities become state funded farm leagues for pro football and basketball, which evolved into them becoming their own little fifedoms where the Paternos, Perles, etc can do whatever they want, except lose games.  It’s awful.

If this is true Perles should go to prison. 

But, but, but, but, the NCAA said;”move along buddy, there’s nothing to see here!”

1992

East Lansing is the cesspool of the great State of Michigan.  Every place needs a toilet to flush its waste and that place is MSU.

Paging umbig11. Was this the news you were talking about dropping near the start of the season? I was under the impression it involved football.

Now why would George Perles cover for Larry Nasar???

We might be looking at some True Detective-type shit in East Lansing.

Burn it down.

In my mind, MSU has reached PSU levels of irredeemability.
