Former legendary late University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler knew about Dr. Robert Anderson s abuse as early as 1969. That s according to three survivors who came forward with detailed information at a press conference Thursday, including Schembechler s own son, Matt, who claims he was abused at the age of 10.
Also coming forward were former Michigan football players Daniel Kwiatkowski and Gilvanni Johnson, who were referenced anonymously in a university-commissioned report conducted by WilmerHale.
The three men described their experience with the late Anderson, noting that he made efforts to arouse them, digitally penetrated them, and inappropriately touched them.
