YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Three former University of Michigan athletes have filed lawsuits against the school, alleging that a late doctor sexually assaulted them while the men were members of the football and hockey teams in the 1980s.
The lawsuits identify the men only as John Doe. They mirror allegations in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Detroit by a former wrestler.
The lawsuits all accuse the university of failing to remove the doctor despite multiple complaints about him. The university revealed last month that it was investigating multiple abuse allegations against Dr. Robert E. Anderson. He retired in 2003. He died five years later.
