LANSING — The Michigan Attorney General has charged William Strampel, an ex-Michigan State University dean and Larry Nassar's former boss, with another sex crime.

The AG's office has also moved to admit additional evidence against Strampel, including photos of scantily clad students wearing MSU garb and a video depicting Nassar's activities with a young female patient in his office.

Strampel is accused of having sexual contact with a student while committing another felony, misconduct in office, Ingham County Circuit Court records show. The AG's office argues that allows prosecutors to levy a felony charge, second-degree criminal sexual conduct, a crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

Strampel is also facing a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and two misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty, all in Ingham County Circuit Court.

His newest charge stems from an incident in which he grabbed a medical student's backside during a public event on campus after previously telling her he had the ability to destroy her future career. He committed the assault without fear of being held accountable because of his role as dean of the medical school, the charging document states.

Prosecutors are making a "circular argument" in their motion to add the charge, Strampel's attorney John Dakmak said. He is drafting a response and declined to elaborate.

"We're going to contest it," he said. "I think it's somewhat of a novel theory. We'll see if Judge (Joyce) Draganchuk agrees with them, but we will be opposing the motion."

Dakmak said he and Strampel are prepared to take the case to trial, which is scheduled to start in late May and potentially last two weeks.

New evidence

AG investigators uncovered four photographs on Strampel's work computer of "non-commercial 'selfies' of scantily clad women donning MSU apparel or insignia."

The photos support prosecutors' assertion that Strampel's sexual statements to students were not "bawdy chit-chat," but requests for sexual favors of photographs from medical students who were under his direction at the university.

Also on Strampel's work computer, investigators found the video of Nassar with a young female patient, touching the patient in the vaginal area without gloves on his hands.

His possession of the video shows he failed to enforce or monitor medical protocols imposed on Larry Nassar after a Title IX investigation found that Nassar wasn't using gloves when touching young, female patients' genital areas.

"The video is directly relevant to Strampel's knowledge that Nassar was engaged in such 'treatment' prior to imposition of a protocol that Nassar use gloves and/or that Nassar continued to engage in this 'treatment' after Strampel was supposed to be enforcing a protocol," court records state.
