MSU Athletic Trainer Accused of Attempted Assault

Jason Scott Headshot

Michigan State once again finds itself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, as reporting from the Lansing State Journal shows that a member of the school’s football athletic training staff stands accused of attempted sexual assault, domestic violence and lying to a police officer.

David Jager has been on paid administrative leave since March 2018, according to a university spokesperson. Though the spokesperson did not comment on the reason for the leave, court documents show that Jager was accused of assaulting his girlfriend at Spartan Stadium in August 2015, then lying about it to police. Both of those charges are misdemeanors, but Jager also faces a third charge of attempted sexual assault on a woman in February 2016 — a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
