Emma Ann Miller, 15, said the school was still billing her mother for medical appointmen­ts in which Nassar molested Miller as recently as August 2016 — a week before he was fired.

University spokesman Jason Cody told the Associated Press that Miller’s allegation was being addressed and said, “I can tell you that patients of former MSU physician Larry Nassar will not be billed.”

Michigan State’s gymnastics coach and another sports doctor quit under pressure last year. But the governing board has stood behind university president Lou Anna Simon, despite calls from legislativ­e leaders and others that she resign or be fired.

One of the board’s eight members said over the weekend that Simon should quit, saying he did not think she could survive the “public outcry.” Board chairman Brian Breslin, however, said all of the other trustees continued to support her.

A Title IX probe conducted by the university cleared Nassar of sexual assault allegation­s in 2014. At least 12 reported assaults occurred after the investigat­ion was concluded, according to a university police report that was provided to the FBI for review by the U.S. attorney.
