Michigan: Latest updates on Coronavirus

Last updated March 27 at 11:50 pm E.D.T.

As of March 26, Michigan is reporting 3,657 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 92 deaths associated with the virus, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. This makes it 5th in the list of states for the most US coronavirus cases. Confirmed cases have been reported in 58 out of 83 counties in the state. A total of 13,769 diagnostic tests have been completed in the state.

Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signed the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order that will be in effect through April 13. It directs all nonessential Michigan businesses and operations to temporarily suspend in-person operations. The order also directs Michiganders to stay in their homes unless they’re essential workers, doing an outdoor activity (while practicing safe social distancing), or aiding in the health and safety of themselves or their family, such as going to the hospital or grocery store, according to a government statement.

State park campgrounds, overnight lodging facilities and shelters are now closed through at least April 13, the government reported. State parks and recreation areas, however, will remain open for people practicing social distancing.

Michiganders who have become unemployed because of the COVID-19 outbreak can go here to see if they’re available for collections assistance.

Whitmer previously signed an executive order imposing temporary restrictions on nonessential medical and dental procedures, according to a news statement.

Action is being taken against price gougers. Call 877-765-8388 if you want to register a complaint, the state government reported.

On March 16, Whitmer issued an executive order that temporary closed all dine-in options for restaurants, theaters, bars, casinos and fitness centers. Delivery and walk-up services are still available.

On March 10, Michigan’s governor declared a state of emergency in response to cases of COVID-19. Large assemblages have been cancelled and all public K-12 schools will be closed from March 16 until April 5.

Victims push for accountability after latest Nassar sentence

CHARLOTTE, Mich. /February 5, 2018 (AP)(STL.News) — The worst sex-abuse case in sports history ended with a third long prison sentence for Larry Nassar, and his victims vowed to keep fighting for accountability in the scandal that upended the gymnastics world and raised alarms about the sport’s ask-no-questions culture.

Long after the disgraced doctor is locked up in a federal prison, investigations into his misconduct will go on, perhaps for years.

“We have taken care of one perpetrator. We have not taken care of the systems that allowed him to flourish,” said Rachael Denhollander, who filed a police report in 2016 about how Nassar had molested her 16 years earlier, when she was 15, with her mother in the room.

The latest sentence of 40 to 125 years — handed down on Monday — was for molesting young athletes at Twistars, an elite Michigan gymnastics club. The sentence is largely symbolic because Nassar, who pleaded guilty, is already assured of spending the rest of his life behind bars. Before serving his two state terms, the 54-year-old must first serve 60 years in federal prison for child pornography crimes.

An astonishing 250-plus women and girls gave statements in two Michigan courtrooms over 10 days of proceedings. The focus will soon shift to lawsuits and multiple probes of Nassar’s actions and those of people around him when he worked for Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, the sport’s governing body.

Those inquiries include a special prosecutor and a legislative probe in Michigan, a law firm investigating the U.S. Olympic Committee and a Texas Rangers review of claims that Nassar assaulted some of the world’s best gymnasts while they trained at a ranch southeast of Huntsville.

The NCAA has signaled that it may investigate potential rules violations related to Nassar’s crimes. The Education Department is reviewing how Michigan State handled complaints about Nassar. And Congress is investigating USA Gymnastics, the university and the committee.

Larissa Boyce and another teen gymnast in 1997 reported Nassar to Michigan State’s then-gymnastics coach, but he was not investigated until 2004, when another teen filed a complaint with police. Even then, that report did not result in criminal charges.

“I felt like a weight lifted off of me,” Boyce said of Nassar’s latest sentence. “Finally, I don’t have to face him in court anymore.”

Boyce said she hopes the university and USA Gymnastics will “show the world how Nassar’s actions were missed, the mistakes that were made … so that other people can take a look and make changes where they need to make changes so this never happens again.”

Katie Black, a Michigan State student who said she was sexually assaulted by Nassar when she was younger, returned for the sentencing after speaking in court Friday.

“I feel almost a sense of closure and that this is all over and things are going to be taken care of,” Black said.

Nassar listened to 48 victims for two days last week and was almost attacked by a man whose three daughters said they were abused.

His abuse “robbed these girls and women of one of the most truly important human qualities — trust,” Eaton County Judge Janice Cunningham said.

In a brief statement before he was sentenced, Nassar attempted to apologize.

“It’s impossible to convey the breadth and depth of how sorry I am to each and every one,” he said.

In all, some 265 women and girls have reported being molested by Nassar. Some of the cases date back to the 1990s. The judge said the abuse “spans the country and the world,” noting that she heard from participants not only in gymnastics but also soccer, figure skating, rowing, softball, cheerleading, wrestling, diving, dance, and track and field. Other victims were non-athletes treated for back, leg and other injuries, she said.

Many of the accusers described an ultra-competitive gymnastics culture in which authority figures could not be questioned and Nassar was free to abuse young patients year after year. They said they had little choice to see doctors other than Nassar, who was renowned throughout the sport.

Assistant Attorney General Angela Povilaitis said people must stop blaming the victims and their parents, who have been criticized online, on the radio and elsewhere. She said people are taught to trust doctors above all, especially those who appear to be world-class.

“It could have happened to any parent,” she said, noting that Nassar tricked parents who were police officers, doctors and engineers. “Regardless of their profession, he fooled them all.”

Most victims who wanted to speak publicly or submit a statement did so earlier during Nassar’s seven-day court hearing in Ingham County, including 2012 Olympic teammates Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber and McKayla Maroney.

The scandal has rocked Michigan State. Lou Anna Simon resigned as the university’s president on Jan. 24, and athletic director Mark Hollis followed two days later.

The fallout has also pushed out many leaders at the top of competitive gymnastics.

The Olympic coach who operated Twistars, John Geddert, was suspended last month by USA Gymnastics until it completes its own investigation. Geddert, who coached the “Fierce Five” that won a team gold in 2012 in London, announced his retirement. And all of the agency’s board members recently stepped down at the demand of the Olympic committee.

Denhollander blasted Michigan State for continuing to fight victims’ lawsuits.

“At every turn, they have twisted words. They have refused to answer questions. They have put institutional protectionism ahead and above the souls of little children,” she said.

With the criminal proceedings done, she said, victims “will now be turning our attention with even greater force to the institutional dynamics that led to the greatest sexual assault scandal in history.”

Larry Nassar to face another sentence, victims in return to court

Watch Video

LANSING, Mich. — Larry Nassar, the former sports doctor accused of sexually assaulting more than 150 women and girls, will be confronted again by scores of victims as he faces another prison sentence for molesting gymnasts, this time at an elite Michigan club run by an Olympic coach.

Judge Janice Cunningham has set aside several days for roughly 60 people who want to confront Nassar or have their statement read in court. The hearing starting Wednesday could unfold much the same as a hearing last week in another county that ended with Nassar getting sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison — what a different judge described as signing the doctor’s “death warrant.”

The practice of allowing accusers to speak even if they are not tied directly to a case has raised questions about fairness. But attorneys say the victim statements probably pose little risk on appeal, especially since Nassar pleaded guilty, agreed to allow the statements and is expected to get another long prison sentence as part of his deal with prosecutors.

“If you get what you bargained for, then you really can’t argue that you were prejudiced in any way,” said Margaret Raben, former leader of a Michigan association of criminal defense attorneys.

It’s not uncommon for prosecutors to introduce “aggravating” evidence at sentencing to support their request for a severe punishment. But the parade of victims offering emotional accounts of their abuse to the face of an abuser went well beyond the typical hearing.

Raben said there was a “horrible dynamic” last week in Judge Rosemarie Aquilina’s courtroom, even if the judge had the option to allow so many people to speak in a case that involved just seven victims.

“Her obvious delight was just off the wall,” Raben said, referring to Aquilina’s “death warrant” remark and others. “I am not defending Larry Nassar at all, but what I saw with her was a real abandonment of judicial demeanor. … The process doesn’t change because everybody hates the defendant. That is the absolute glory, or should be, of the American justice system.”

A fellow Ingham County judge, William Collette, said Aquilina’s handling of the hearing was “outrageous.” Others, however, have praised her treatment of victims and their parents.

The case on Cunningham’s docket Wednesday in Eaton County centers on Nassar’s assaults at Twistars, a Lansing-area gymnastics club that was run by 2012 Olympic coach John Geddert. Nassar admits penetrating three girls with his hands when he was supposed to be treating them for injuries.

So far, 57 victims want to speak in court or submit statements. Attorney Mick Grewal said 11 of his clients have signed up, including some who were inspired by the 150-plus young women and girls who appeared in Aquilina’s court. He called it a “cathartic experience.”

“Now they’re at a point in their healing process where they want to confront Larry, and they want to show the world that they are survivors and they are strong and they are part of this movement,” Grewal said. “It helps them through the healing process.”

He said the Nassar cases are extraordinary in the number of victims who have come forward.

“The only case that’s out there that’s even similar in stature is Penn State, and this is now six times as big as Penn State, maybe seven times,” Grewal said, referring to boys who said they were sexually abused by assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

Meanwhile, the Nassar scandal continued to trigger other developments around the country, from Texas to the nation’s capital.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered a criminal investigation after victims said they were assaulted by Nassar at the Karolyi Ranch, a famous Texas facility that was the training ground for U.S. women’s gymnastics. The ranch is owned by former national team coordinators Bela and Martha Karolyi.

USA Gymnastics cut ties with the ranch earlier this month, a few days after Olympic champion Simone Biles said she dreaded the thought of having to return there to train.

In Michigan, former Gov. John Engler was expected to become interim president at Michigan State, according to a high-ranking school official involved in the plan.

The official told The Associated Press that trustees would vote Wednesday to hire Engler. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been publicly announced. The school’s top post is vacant after Lou Anna Simon resigned last week.

Engler will head the school as it confronts lawsuits filed by more than 100 women and girls, and investigations by the state attorney general, the NCAA and Congress.

One of Michigan State’s corporate sponsors chose not to have its logo behind basketball coach Tom Izzo and football coach Mark Dantonio during recent news conferences. Auto-Owners Insurance spokesman Trevor Mahoney told the AP on Tuesday the company did not think it was appropriate.

Also Tuesday, former basketball player Travis Walton defended himself days after ESPN reported he was named in a sexual assault report and had assault and battery charges dismissed in 2010. At the time, Walton’s four-year career as a guard with the Spartans was over and he was assisting Izzo while taking classes to graduate.

Walton said in a statement that he had multiple consensual encounters with a woman, who accused him of rape. Walton said he never hit a woman as alleged in a bar, where he said she threw a drink at him.

And in Washington, the Senate approved a bill that would require governing bodies for amateur athletics to quickly report claims of abuse to law enforcement.

Athletes vow to keep fighting in doctor sex-abuse scandal

CHARLOTTE, Mich/February 05, 2018(AP)(STL.News)— The worst sex-abuse case in sports history ended Monday with a third long prison sentence for Larry Nassar, and his victims vowed to keep fighting for accountability in the scandal that upended the gymnastics world and raised alarms about the sport’s ask-no-questions culture.
