DETROIT (AP) – A police department in the Lansing, Michigan, area will publicly apologize about missing an opportunity to pursue criminal charges against Larry Nassar in 2004.
Meridian Township plans to make the apology Thursday to Brianne Randall-Gay, who accused the sports doctor of molesting her during treatment for an abnormal spine.
Randall-Gay was 17 in 2004 when she and her mother visited Nassar to discuss treatment for scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. He sent her to physical therapy but saw her again, this time alone, and she says he used his hands to molest her.

Township police dropped the case after Nassar explained that he was performing a ligament procedure.
Township Manager Frank Walsh says Nassar “deceived” police.
Questions about the investigation will be answered during a news conference Thursday.
