Officers, however, closed the case after the Michigan State University sports doctor offered an aggressive defense and said he was using a legitimate medical technique. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"I'd like personally to think that one apology is enough and that everything is better, but that's not the case. That's not the case,\" police Chief Dave Hall said at a news event held at the township hall. \"I think I could apologize every day the rest of my life.\" \u003cbr/\u003e              Randall-Gay, who participated in the news conference by video from Washington state, said she welcomed the public apology as well as an earlier phone call \"I had been waiting almost 14 years for.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              Still, she said: \"I felt like my complaint was ignored. I felt like I was ignored.\" \u003cbr/\u003e              Nassar, who also was a doctor for the U.S. women's Olympic gymnastics team, subsequently assaulted many more girls after 2004, penetrating them with his hands, according to authorities. He was sentenced last week to 40 to 175 years in prison, and faces another long sentence next week. \u003cbr/\u003e              At least 265 women and girls have said they were assaulted in Michigan and elsewhere, some going back to the 1990s. \u003cbr/\u003e              Hall and township Manager Frank Walsh first reached out to Randall-Gay a few weeks ago and paid for her to travel to Michigan to testify as a victim at Nassar's sentencing. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"We can't undo what happened in 2004. We can only be better because of it, and we're going to take all the steps necessary to make that happen,\" Walsh said. \"And I will hold everyone accountable to make sure that happens.\"   \u003cbr/\u003e              Meridian Township is next to Michigan State in the Lansing area. In the old police report released Wednesday, Randall-Gay and her mother told investigators that they had visited Nassar to discuss treatment for scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. He sent her to physical therapy but saw her again, this time alone. \u003cbr/\u003e              She told police that Nassar had removed her underwear, forcibly cupped her genitals with his hand and rubbed her breasts, all without gloves. \u003cbr/\u003e              Nassar told police he applied pressure to the \"perineum,\" using a formal word for an area between the legs, and said it was done to manipulate a ligament, according to the report. \u003cbr/\u003e              He provided a paper version of a PowerPoint presentation about the ligament procedure, titled \"The Grand Junction.\" The case was closed. \u003cbr/\u003e              It was not the only investigation over the years. A Michigan State University police investigation ended in 2014 with no charges filed. Another investigation by the university, required under federal anti-discrimination law, cleared Nassar of assault.\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              Meridian Township, Michigan - 1 February 2018\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
