Washington — In a long-awaited report, the U.S. Department of Justice's internal watchdog on Wednesday documented a string of failures by FBI field offices to properly investigate allegations against former Michigan State University sports doctor Larry Nassar.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz's office found that senior officials in the FBI Indianapolis Field Office "failed to respond ...with the urgency that the allegations required" and made "fundamental errors when it did respond."
Those mistakes included failing to notify the appropriate FBI field office in Lansing or state or local authorities of the allegations or to take other steps to neutralize the "ongoing threat posed by Nassar.
