Police report reveals how Nassar avoided charges
Police records show Rachael Denhollander and Amanda Thomashow accusing Larry Nassar of sexual assault, but investigations diverged. Thomashow’s 2014 report described non-penetrative touches during a medical appointment, while Denhollander’s 2016 file included medical articles and broader evidence. Prosecutors later deemed Thomashow’s accounts non criminal, and charges were denied in 2015 citing a medical manipulation.
