William Strampel arraigned on four counts; read his charges here

Dr. William Strampel, who was once Larry Nassar's boss at MSU, is facing criminal charges for allegedly inappropriately touching a student and storing nude photos of female students on his work computer.

Police arrested Strampel Monday night. A search warrant revealed non-clinical nude and semi-nude images of what are believed to be MSU students and video of Larry Nassar's "treatment" on his University-issued computer, according to the Attorney General's office.

He was charged Tuesday with a felony, a high court misdemeanor and two misdemeanors. Court records show the charges are misconduct in office which is a felony up to 5 years in prison or $10,000; one count 4th-degree criminal sexual conduct, which is contact with force or coercion, upon conviction his DNA would be registered, he would be on the Sex Offender Registry, and face two years and/or $500. The third count is wilful neglect of duty - as a dean at Michigan State University he neglected to develop and maintain the College of Osteopathic Medicine by allowing Dr. Nassar, whom he supervised, to continue to see patients after receiving a Title IX complaint that alleged sexual misconduct by Nassar. This is a misdemeanor with one year in prison or $1000. The fourth count against Strampel is also under wilful neglect of duty by failing to enforce protocols upon Larry Nassar, including but not limited to, the use of surgical gloves during examinations and procedures with patients, acquiring informed consent from patients prior to any examinations or procedures, and attendance by another employee in the examination room with Nassar and patients during these exams. This misdemeanor is also for one year and/or $1000.

The 70-year-old Strampel was the dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine until late last year. According to his personnel file Strampel has been on medical leave from MSU since December 14th.

He told police last year he never followed up after ordering Nassar in 2014 to have a third person present when providing treatment to "anything close to a sensitive area." Nassar will spend his life in prison for molesting patients under the guise of treatment.

The arrest came after the Michigan Attorney General's Office called a press conference to give an update on its investigation into Michigan State University. That conference was Tuesday at noon.
