Recap: William Strampel preliminary hearing

LANSING - The preliminary hearing for former Michigan State University dean William Strampel is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Strampel, a 70-year-old DeWitt resident, faces four criminal charges, including a fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct charge and a felony count of misconduct in office.

Attorney General Bill Schuette's office has accused him of using his position as dean of MSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine to "harass, discriminate, demean, sexually proposition, and sexually assault female students."

As dean, Strampel oversaw Nassar, the former MSU physician now serving an effective life sentence for possessing child pornography and assaulting university patients and others, often under the guise of medical treatment.
