ANN ARBOR, Mich. — An investigation has found several former patients who allege that a late University of Michigan physician sexually abused them during exams going back decades.
The Ann Arbor school said Wednesday that it's set up a hotline for others to come forward with information about Robert E. Anderson, the former director of University Health Service and athletic team physician, who worked at the school from 1968 to 2003. He died in 2008.

A Washington, D.C.-based law firm is investigating.
