Livingston County Prosecutor William Vailliencourt has been endorsed for re-election by Angela Povilaitis, the former assistant attorney general
who prosecuted serial abuser Larry Nassar.
In a video on Vailliencourt’s Facebook page, Povilaitis said she encourages all Livingston County voters to vote for Vailliencourt.
“For close to 20 years, I’ve prosecuted some of the most important and complex adult and child sexual abuse cases in our state, including the Larry Nassar Michigan State University gymnastics abuse case,” Povilaitis said. “I know how important it is for victims to have a prosecutor who will fight for them. That’s why I support and endorse Bill Vailliencourt for re-election as Livingston County Prosecutor.
“I have known Bill for many years and I know that he fights for all victims, especially child sexual abuse victims. Bill is also a leader in our state, serving as the President of the Michigan Prosecuting Attorney’s Association.”
Povilaitis served as an assistant attorney general from 2012-2018 as the Criminal Division’s lead prosecutor on sexual assault. Prior to that, she was an assistant prosecutor in Wayne County for 12 years.
“Angela Povilaitis is one of this state’s most respected prosecutors and a dedicated advocate for victims,” Vailliencourt said. “I am proud to have her support for my re-election as Livingston County Prosecutor.”
