Justice Department Agrees to Pay $139 Million to Larry Nassar Victims for FBI's Failure to Act on Abuse Allegations

Broke On: Tuesday, 23 April 2024 The US Department of Justice will pay $138.7 million to victims of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, who was convicted for sexually abusing young athletes under the guise of medical treatment. The settlement resolves legal claims against the department for its failure to investigate allegations that could have brought Nassar to justice sooner and prevented dozens of assaults. This brings the combined liability payouts in legal cases brought by victims of Nassar's abuse to more than $1 billion, with Michigan State agreeing to distribute $500 million and USA Gymnastics reaching a separate settlement worth $380 million.
