Justice Dept. Settles with Larry Nassar Victims for $100M
The United States Justice Department has reportedly agreed to pay around 100 victims of former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar approximately $100 million for the FBI's failure to properly investigate reports of Nassar's sexual assaults against top gymnasts. This potential settlement would bring the total amount of settlements in the legal cases against Nassar to nearly $1 billion. The claimants in the settlement include former Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney, and Maggie Nichols, who testified about the FBI's failures at a Senate hearing. This follows previous settlements of $380 million with USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee in 2021 and $500 million with Michigan State University in 2018.
