DETROIT — A son of legendary University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler was among the hundreds of men who were sexually assaulted by a campus doctor, and he will speak publicly about the abuse along with two players who also were victims in the 1970s and ’80s, lawyers said Wednesday.

Matt Schembechler, Daniel Kwiatkowski and Gilvanni Johnson are expected to discuss the abuse during news conference Thursday. Their accusations come a month after a report commissioned by the university said Bo Schembechler and other officials were aware of complaints about Dr. Robert Anderson, though he remained at the school for decades.

“Matt Schembechler will set the record straight regarding his own abuse by Dr. Anderson and his father’s failure to protect him and other athletes,” attorney Mick Grewal said in a written statement.

Kwiatkowski and Johnson spoke to the WilmerHale law firm, which produced the report, but they were not named in it.

The report found that Bo Schembechler, who died in 2006, was told by a player that Anderson had fondled him during an exam and that the coach told the player to “toughen up.”

That player was Kwiatkowski, an offensive lineman from 1977-79, who was abused four times, attorney Jon Marko said.

Johnson, a receiver from 1982-86, also informed Schembechler after his first physical with Anderson. a native of L’Anse, that the doctor had assaulted him, attorney Dennis Mulvihill said.

Matt Schembechler, 62, runs several businesses, according to his LinkedIn page.

When the WilmerHale report was released, another of Bo Schembechler’s sons, Shemy Schembechler, expressed skepticism that his father ignored complaints about Anderson. He insisted that his dad would have acted if players had shared concerns about the doctor.

Michigan’s current coach, Jim Harbaugh, who played under Schembechler, backed him up last week in remarks to reporters.

“He never procrastinated on anything,” Harbaugh said. “He took care of it before the sun went down. That’s the Bo Schembechler that I know. There’s nothing that ever was swept under the rug or ignored.”

Schembechler is a revered figure in Ann Arbor, where his statue stands outside a football building named for him. The Wolverines won or shared 13 Big Ten football championships before he stepped down after the 1989 season.

The number of Anderson’s victims could exceed 800, according to court filings. The report detailed many missed opportunities to stop Anderson, who was also a doctor to some staff and their families and who spent 37 years on campus. He died in 2008.
