Dakmak (Strampel's lawyer) on Tuesday also objected to the dozen of sexually explicit pictures being entered into evidence, arguing that they weren't relevant. Ball allowed the pictures, however, all of which were shown on a large screen in the courtroom just a few feet from where Strampel sat stone-faced at a defense table.
The images, many of which were found on Strampel's work-issued MSU computer, showed naked women and sex toys. The young women in some of the pictures were shown wearing Spartan gear. In one, a small Spartan logo was the only thing covering a woman's nipple, leaving the rest of her breast exposed.
The preliminary examination is being conducted so the judge can determine there is probable cause that crimes were committed and Strampel committed them. The case would be bound over to circuit court for trial if that's the case.
Strampel said something like: "All a 26-year-old has to do is put out for twenty minutes, then the 26-year-old can get whatever she wants ... " the woman testifed
Strampel also told the woman that he predicted she danced on the tables at a local East Lansing watering hole.
Strampel said: "I bet you've been dancing on tables there at Harpers," according to the woman's testimony.
The woman said Strampel also brought up lewd pictures during the hour-long meeting.
"He was talking about naked, nude pictures," she said.
Jackson said that there was a moment where Strampel offered her favors with her academic struggles in exchange for naked pictures.
"I thought he was suggesting I give him a (nude) picture so I could continue on in my education," she said.
The woman was so upset by the meeting that she brought her father to the next meeting she had with Strampel in December 2017.
"I was very scared," she said. "I almost went into a survival mode. I felt trapped in this room with this man discussing very uncomfortable, inappropriate things."

Another former student takes the stand next, Dr. Jessica Lynn Neuroth. She is summoned to see Strampel after a couple of incidents in her internship. When she entered his office she was asked to stand and turn around twice, slowly by the dean. Neuroth said she did it because she believed Strampel to be very powerful and well connected and had fear of losing her career if she didn't. She said he said in a group setting that he could "destroy her ability to work as a doctor in Michigan." She also said that the dean told her that she needed to be submissive to men and "learn her place." Neuroth also told the court that Strampel had grabbed her butt in a meeting with him, and once in the hallway he said to her, "nice rack."
