The detective on the case, Andrew McCready, said in an interview with investigators he believed Nassar's lies about the abuse being a medically accepted treatment.

Meridian Township Manager Frank Walsh spoke at the press conference, saying what happened in 2004 will haunt everyone involved for a long time.

"We live with 'what would have happened in 2004 and going forth if we had got it right.' We live with all the young women who were manipulated by Nassar after 2004," Walsh said. "We carry that. We carry that every day. But all we can do is continue to support Brianne."

The investigation report is structured by answering the 10 questions Randall submitted to investigators regarding her case. The investigation, requested by Randall, was paid for by Meridian Township.

Walsh said no one expects the investigative report to provide closure for Randall, but hopes it will help in her healing process.

With the report's release, Walsh said as far as the township is concerned, the investigation into the 2004 report is over.

The report provides details concerning Randall's allegation and cites multiple instances of McCready making mistakes in his investigation. It includes a disagreement between Randall's mother and McCready about the existence of a meeting between Randall's family, police and Nassar.

No disciplinary action was taken against McCready after a manager's review by Walsh into his handling of the 2004 incident.

Walsh said the township has developed a relationship with Randall, citing her work in consulting with the police department on criminal sexual conduct training. She has since concluded her involvement.

Randall released a written statement distributed at the press conference. In it, she thanks the township for its collaboration in the investigation, asks a few further questions and addresses McCready directly.

"As angry as I am, I have sympathy for Sergeant McCready and others involved in this case as I do not believe they had (bad intentions). I know the overwhelming guilt I feel every day for not pursuing this in 2004 and I can't imagine the guilt they too must feel," Randall said in the statement. "They made a mistake, a mistake they will live with the rest of their lives. I offered my forgiveness in the past and I continue to extend my forgiveness to them."

Walsh said the township has consistently worked to develop a relationship with Randall and pursue a positive outcome to the situation.

"I support everything she said in her statement. I think she was open, honest and transparent, without curtains and no shadows. That's really going to help us throughout. I'm thankful for her statement," Walsh said. "Are we a better department than what we were in 2004, when this occurred? Absolutely. That's the good thing to come out of this."

Police Chief Ken Plaga, who was not chief when Randall reported Nassar's abuse, cited changes made to the department since 2004.

"All sexual assault cases come through my office. That's where the buck stops. My predecessor Dave Hall implemented that," Plaga said. "Policies have been put in place that outline the responsibilities of the supervisor's role in reviewing cases, making sure cases are completed and that there's no stones left unturned."
