Michigan Officer Says He Botched Investigation, Believed Larry Nassar's 'Lies' Enlarge this image toggle caption Carlos Osorio/AP Carlos Osorio/AP A Michigan police investigator who looked into allegations that Larry Nassar sexually molested girls and young women in 2004 admits that he was fooled by the now-convicted sports doctor and didn't pursue the case. Meridian Township officials publicly apologized to one of Nassar's victims, Brianne Randall-Gay, a year ago and launched an investigation into how local police handled the complaint she filed in 2004 when she was 17. McCready acknowledged that he did not consult another medical expert, the report says, and never sent the Nassar case to the local prosecutor's office "because I believed his lies." "We can never let something like this ever happen again," said Meridian Township Police Chief Ken Plaga said in a news conference announcing the conclusions of the report written by Ken Oulette, an independent investigator selected by Randall-Gay.
