Lou Anna K. Simon, the former president of Michigan State University who stepped down earlier this year, was charged today in a state court in Michigan with lying to state police during an investigation of sexual abuse by Larry Nassar, the imprisoned campus sports doctor who sexually abused hundreds of female patients for years.

In May, investigators asked Simon if she was aware of any investigation involving Nassar prior to 2016. She said that in 2014 she knew that a sports medicine doctor at the school was the subject of review. But the new charges say she knew it was Nassar. She is also charged with not being truthful when she said she was not aware of the nature of the sexual misconduct under investigation. If convicted, Simon faces up to four years in prison.
