BTW, the US ministry of Justice is now investigating the affair below and check for more abusers US-wide.

 

Maybe their colleagues in Scotland take note. 

 

Michigan State University fined $4.5m in Larry Nassar case

Investigation found the school failed to take interim measures to protect students while complaints were pending

The US education department is fining Michigan State University (MSU) a record $4.5m and demanding sweeping changes, after determining that it failed to respond to sexual assault complaints against Larry Nassar, a former sports doctor at the school who also worked at USA Gymnastics.

Nassar has been sentenced to decades in prison for sexually assaulting athletes, mostly female gymnasts, at Michigan State and a Lansing-area gymnastics club. Former Olympians said he molested them in Texas and overseas while he worked for USA Gymnastics.

Is the US finally taking sexual abuse in sports seriously?

The education secretary, Betsy DeVos, announced the penalty on Thursday after Michigan State settled with the department to resolve two investigations. DeVos said Nassar’s actions were “disgusting and unimaginable” but so too was the university’s response.

“Too many people in power knew about the behaviors and the complaints and yet the predators continued on the payroll and abused even more students,” DeVos said in a call with reporters. “This must not happen again there or anywhere else.”

The fine is the largest levied under the Clery Act, a federal law that requires colleges to collect data on campus crime and notify students of threats. The previous largest fine, $2.4m, was imposed in 2016 against Penn State over its handling of sexual misconduct involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The department’s investigation concluded that Michigan State violated several key parts of the Clery Act along with Title IX, a federal law forbidding discrimination based on gender in education.

Michigan State did not immediately provide comment.

A department investigation found that the school violated the Clery Act by failing to disclose crime statistics, failing to issue campus warnings about security threats and failing to establish a system to collect crime statistics. The school says it will hire a “Clery compliance officer” and create measures to protect athletes and children who participate in youth programs on campus.

A separate Title IX investigation found that Michigan State failed to respond to reports of sexual misconduct against Nassar and his supervisor William Strampel, failed to take interim measures to protect students while complaints against both men were pending, and failed to take steps to end any harassment and prevent it from recurring.

As part of its settlement agreement, Michigan State says it will make “substantial” changes to its Title IX procedures and will provide a process to help victims of Nassar, including offering counseling services, grade changes, tuition reimbursement or the opportunity to retake classes at no cost.

The school is also being ordered to “consider appropriate sanctions” against current and former employees who failed to take action after being notified of sexual misconduct by Nassar and Strampel.

Kenneth Marcus, the department’s assistant secretary for civil rights, said the agreement represents an “extensive and robust” resolution. Unlike most Title IX investigations, which are usually triggered by complaints submitted to the department, Marcus’s office launched an investigation into Michigan State in 2018 based on the severity of the allegations, he said.

“This message should be heard loudly and clearly by all universities so that the tragedy at Michigan State University is not repeated elsewhere,” Marcus said.

Michigan State last year agreed to a $500m deal with Nassar’s accusers. Most of the money, $425m, was for 333 people, mostly women and girls, who had already sued. Michigan State so far has settled with 72 people in the second wave of litigation. Dozens remain.

Strampel last month was sentenced to a year in jail for neglect of duty and misconduct in office. He was accused of failing to monitor Nassar and using his job as a medical school dean to sexually harass students.

Victims of vile football paedos Harry Dunn and Gordon Neely suing clubs they were linked to – including Rangers, Hibernian and Dundee United

NINE victims of vile footie paedos Harry Dunn and Gordon Neely are suing the clubs they were linked to — including Rangers, Hibernian and Dundee United.

And the outfits were urged to offer “unreserved apologies and financial justice” to those molested by the beasts, both of whom are now dead.

The Scottish Sun on Sunday led the way almost three years ago in exposing the sick pair’s sexual abuse of youngsters hoping to forge careers in the game.

Scout Dunn identified talented kids for Gers plus English sides Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester City.

While Neely coached hundreds of youngsters at Hutchison Vale Boys Club in Edinburgh, Dundee United, Hibs and the Ibrox giants.

The court action is being led by Thompsons solicitors — who are also pursuing the Scottish FA over their overall responsibility for the sport plus attacks carried out by match officials, including referees.

Laura Connor, a partner at the law firm, said: “We represent survivors abused while they were children by Gordon Neely or Harry Dunn at Hibernian, Rangers, Dundee United and Liverpool.

“This terrible legacy of historic abuse at the heart of Scottish football cannot be properly addressed until every club involved acknowledges the wrongs of the past and their responsibility by offering unreserved apologies and financial justice to every survivor.”

She added: “The SFA also cannot avoid criticism or evade the consequences of their now well-publicised failures. They too must ensure survivors of historic abuse in football are fairly compensated.”

Neely died of cancer in 2014, aged 62, with his secret life as an abuser and child rapist still unknown. Two years later Rangers announced they had sacked him in 1990 after an incident with a young player was reported to them.

Dunn was still alive at the time of our revelations, which led to eight victims filing police reports.

The fiend appeared in court in April 2017 charged with assault and attempted sodomy against one victim plus assault and sodomy of another.

But he passed away seven months later at 85 before he could face trial.

Dunn was first reported to cops in 1992 by a victim who was just 16 when the monster plied him with booze then assaulted him at his Edinburgh flat six years earlier.

The man, who asked not to be named, said: “I wanted to see him in court, on a stretcher if necessary.

“And when I think of him now I imagine him burning in Hell. I’m furious that he didn’t face proper justice. But at least we exposed him before he died.”

But the survivor hit out over the stance taken by Ibrox bosses — who have referred claims over historic abuse to the administrators who handled its liquidation in 2012.

The man, now in his 50s, said: “It’s very convenient that when Rangers talk about their history and titles, they are the same club.

“But when asked to pay compensation for putting me and others in the hands of a child abuser, they are a different club.”

An SFA spokesman said: “Upon publication last year of the interim review of Sexual Abuse in Scottish Football, our chief executive offered a heartfelt apology to those with personal experience of sexual abuse in our national game.

"Since then the SFA has published its five-year child well-being and protection strategy, Getting It Right for Every Child in Scottish Football, and created an Independent Wellbeing and Protection Advisory Board.”

He added: “The SFA acknowledges the very deep impact experiences of sexual abuse has had on many individuals and that is why we have committed to ensuring the national game is a safe and enjoyable environment for all.”

A Hibernian spokesman said: “We are respectful of those who have been courageous enough to come forward to talk about this issue.

“However, it would be wrong to pass any comment on any individual cases or allegations.”

Rangers, Liverpool and Dundee United did not respond to requests for comment.

Rangers should pay out on this if it happened on our watch. It may well be a matter for the administrators legally but that's hardly the point.

I tend to agree. We should be as different as possible to Celtic here, do the right thing and and shine an even harsher light on their indefensible evasion and deceit. We sacked Neely when his abuse became known which was more than Celtic did with their paedophiles. It's not like our Directors continued to be business associates of a child molestor and then re-employed him years later after they hoped the dust had settled.

Sounds like a witch hunt this one,and the "others", hope he has plenty of proof on this other than his claim that it happened.
