Robert Anderson (February 20, 1928 – November 27, 2008) was an American doctor and sex offender. In 2022, the University of Michigan agreed to a $490 million settlement to 1050 victims who were abused by Anderson during routine medical examinations.[1][2] Attorneys for Anderson's victims say this may have been the largest case of sex abuse by a single person in American history, surpassing the scale of similar cases such as that of Larry Nassar and the Ohio State University abuse scandal.[3]
