Former Michigan State University women’s gymnastics coach Kathie Klages has been charged with two counts of lying to a peace officer in connection with the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal, the Michigan Attorney General's Office announced on Thursday.
Special Independent Counsel Bill Forsyth made the announcement, alleging Klages falsely denied to Michigan State Police detectives that she had been told prior to 2016 of Nassar’s sexual misconduct.
"While investigating how Larry Nassar was able to get away with sexually assaulting hundreds of individuals on and off Michigan State’s campus, Klages denied to Michigan State Police detectives having been told prior to 2016 of Nassar’s sexual misconduct," Forsyth said in a statement.
