LANSING, MI - Legislation passed in the wake of sexual abuse perpetrated by Larry Nassar does not allow all his victims to sue, including one who recently alleged Nassar drugged and forcibly raped her in 1992.
After ex-Michigan State University doctor Nassar was sentenced for criminal sexual conduct in an emotionally-charged hearing earlier this year, the legislature took up bills designed to prevent this type of decades-long abuse from happening again and give his victims access to the legal system.
Nassar-inspired laws give childhood sexual assault victims more time to come forward
But the legislation doesn't give people like Erika Davis, who in a new lawsuit filing says she was assaulted in 1992, an assured civil claim.
