13 Larry Nassar Sexual Assault Survivors Seek $130m over FBI Investigation Failures

Thirteen women who were sexual assault victims of Larry Nassar are seeking $130 million from the FBI over its investigation of allegations against Nassar, according to Ed White of the Associated Press.

In November 2017, Nassar pleaded guilty to 10 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and he was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison in January 2018, which he will serve after a 60-year sentence on child pornography charges. At least 265 women came forward to say he had assaulted them.

USA Gymnastics and Michigan State, which had employed Nassar as a sports physician, received significant scrutiny for enabling the assaults to occur for years.
