A judge dismissed charges against former Michigan State University President Lou Anna Simon arising from the Larry Nassar sexual assault scandal.

Simon faced four charges — two felonies and two misdemeanors — of lying to police.

Investigators said she learned about accusations against Nassar during the 2014 investigation of alumna Amanda Thomashow’s sexual assault complaint. Her ruling came after a lengthy preliminary hearing that took multiple days over the span of several months.They argued Reincke was not objective and ignored"absence of evidence" of the elements of the charge and"numerous" issues with witness testimony.

He's appealing his felony conviction of misconduct in office, arguing in a brief filed earlier this year that his position as dean didn't meet the legal definition of a public official.
