The University of Michigan announced Wednesday its Police Department has been investigating sexual misconduct allegations against former football team doctor Robert Anderson since July 2018.
A former student-athlete wrote to Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel two years ago detailing sexual abuse by Anderson in the 1970s. The school is asking any "former patients who believe they were subjected to sexual misconduct during a medical exam" to come forward with information.
The subsequent investigation has identified "several individuals who described incidents of sexual misconduct" by Anderson. Although most of the alleged misconduct happened in the 1970s, at least one person came forward with an allegation of abuse from the 1990s.
