The DOJ and Larry Nassar's victims reached a settlement over the FBI’s initial failure to investigate sexual abuse allegations against him.

The Department of Justice reached a $138.7 million settlement Tuesday with the victims of former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar over the FBI’s initial failure to adequately investigate sexual abuse allegations against him. “For decades, Lawrence Nassar abused his position, betraying the trust of those under his care and medical supervision while skirting accountability,” acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer said in a statement.

The year prior, he was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison on child pornography charges. In June 2022, Nassar by the Michigan Supreme Court. USA Gymnastics, which is based in Indianapolis, first brought allegations against Nassar to the FBI’s Indianapolis field office in July 2015. Nassar continued treating athletes at Michigan State University, a Michigan high school and a Michigan gymnastics club until MSU police searched his home in September 2016.
