The U.S. Justice Department has agreed to pay nearly $139 million to more than 100 gymnasts who accused the FBI of grossly mishandling sexual abuse claims against Larry Nassar, the former doctor for Team USA gymnastics and the Olympic team. The FBI’s neglect led to Nassar abusing or assaulting over 100 young gymnasts between the time the FBI first heard of the accusations in 2015 until Nassar’s arrest the following year. Nassar is currently serving a 60-year sentence.
