Magic Johnson Calls For Firing Of Those Aware of Sexual Abuse At Michigan State

Los Angeles Lakers President Magic Johnson has called for the firing of anyone at Michigan State who was aware of sexual abuse on campus but failed to act or report it.

Michigan State come under fire after reports that university employees were aware of Dr. Larry Nassar's sexual abuse of more than 140 women over two decades as a doctor for the school and USA Gymnastics. Nassar has been sentenced to up to 175 years in prison after pleading guilty to seven charges of molestation. The NCAA has launched an investigation into the university. ESPN also reported cases of institutional failure to report sexual assault cases in other sports within the athletic department including men's basketball and football.
