July 2015 (FBI report) to Sept 2016 (my report): 15 months.
Over 100 girls and women abused.
Sept 2016 (my report) to Jan 2018 (Larry's sentencing): 16 months.
Put it side by side.

In the time it took the FBI to do nothing except wine and dine with Steve Penny and procure help with a job offer, MSU detectives Andrea Munford and Assistant AG @AngiePovilaitis managed to do the following:
Interview Larry within 24 hours of my coming forward and for the first time find the discrepancies in his story.
Start and follow up an incredibly in-depth Title IX process that immediately removed him from the exam room - something the FBI didn't manage in 15 months...

Process over a dozen reports and calls that came in because of the IndyStar article.
Based on those reports, immediately obtain and properly execute search warrants, finding the CSAM on Larry's hard drives hours before the trash pickup destroyed them.

The CSAM was there the whole time. The FBI never even tried to get it. But Andrea did.
Process eventually over 100 police reports.
Interview dozens of witnesses.
Identify medical experts who could go toe to toe with Larry.

File charges on behalf of ten of us survivors.
Fight countless court motions and hearings as Larry tried to manipulate the system again.
Represent us and testify at 9 preliminary hearings so our cases would be bound over for trial.

Procure a rock solid plea deal that we all agreed to, taking every perspective into account, while securing the right of every survivor to speak at the hearing and ensuring Larry would never hurt another child.
Turn over the CSAM to federal authorities and assist in the processing.
They had a guilty plea in less time that it took the FBI to do nothing.

Fifteen months to do nothing but allow childrento be abused. 16 months to change the world.
Imagine if our world was filled with Andreas and Angela's.
Just Imagine.
