U.S. Justice Department Agrees to $100 Million Settlement for Nassar Victims

The settlement addresses claims from survivors over FBI's mishandling of abuse allegations against former gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.

The U.S. Justice Department has agreed to pay approximately $100 million to settle claims with about 100 survivors of Larry Nassar's sexual abuse.
The settlement, still pending finalization, compensates for the FBI's failure to act on abuse allegations against Nassar, who continued his crimes until his 2016 arrest.
Survivors include high-profile Olympic gymnasts such as Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, and McKayla Maroney.
Previous settlements related to Nassar's abuses total nearly $1 billion, including payouts from Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics.
FBI Director Christopher Wray apologized for the agency's failures, which were highlighted in a 2021 Justice Department Inspector General report.
