Sex Complaints Brought Against Former UM Doctor

The University Of Michigan said it is now looking for more victims.

MICHIGAN — The University of Michigan is investigating several "disturbing and very serious" sex abuse complaints against a late former doctor, according to a new report.

The Detroit News reported that the allegations were brought against Robert E. Anderson, a former director of the University Health Service who spent years as a top physician for football teams led by former coaches Bo Schembechler and Lloyd Carr.

The university said it would be sending out a press release to call for any victims to contact the school. The response to The Detroit News came after it asked for comment from UM about Anderson's alleged misconduct, which includes sexual abuse and unneeded or unwanted exams.
