Larry Nassar

Attorneys for more than 90 women and girls who were sexually abused by disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar submitted claims for over $1 ...

"The FBI knew that Larry Nassar was a danger to children when his abuse of me was first reported in September of 2015. The agency then has six months to either reach a settlement or deny the claim before the lawsuit can be brought. For 421 days they worked with USA Gymnastics and USOPC to hide this information from the public and allowed Nassar to continue molesting young women and girls," Nichols said. In April, 13 of Nassar's sexual assault victims submitted separate claims against the FBI totaling $130 million, saying all the agents involved in the Nassar investigation elected to "turn a blind eye" to the sexual abuse perpetrated on children by Nassar. Gymnasts Kaylee Lorincz and Hannah Morrow are each asking for $42.5 million, the attorneys said. "The FBI was grossly derelict in their duties by declining to interview gymnasts who were willing to talk about the abuse, failing to transfer the complaint to Lansing Michigan where Nassar was continuing to abuse girls, ignoring its obligation to report child abuse to relevant state and federal agencies and lying to Congress, the media and FBI headquarters about their lack of diligence in investigating the Nassar complaint," attorneys for the victims said in a statement.

The report found the FBI was notified of Nassar's behavior, but failed to act for more than a year. Nassar pleaded guilty in 2017 in connection with crimes against several victims and was sentenced to 60 years behind bars for child pornography and other charges. It is time for the FBI to be held accountable."

“The FBI knew that Larry Nassar was a danger to children when his abuse of me was first reported in September of 2015. He is serving up to 175 years in prison. “My fellow survivors and I were betrayed by every institution that was supposed to protect us — the U.S. Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics, the FBI and now the Department of Justice,” Maroney, an Olympic gold medalist, said in a statement. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Raisman, Maroney and others have testified before Congress, calling for accountability at the FBI. Many are athletes who were associated with the USA Gymnastics program or with Michigan State University, where Nassar maintained a clinic.

Maroney recalled "dead silence" when she talked to FBI agents about Nassar. He is serving decades in prison. There is no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew that Nassar was accused of assaulting gymnasts, but they failed to act, leaving him free to continue to target young women and girls for more than a year. Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics told local FBI agents in 2015 that three gymnasts said they were assaulted by Nassar, a team doctor. "I'm especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed. "It is time for the FBI to be held accountable," said Maggie Nichols, a national champion gymnast at Oklahoma from 2017 to 2019.
