More than 90 women who say they were sexually assaulted by former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar are planning to file lawsuits seeking more than $1 billion against the FBI on Wednesday for the agency’s failure to stop Nassar after receiving credible allegations against him, according to The New York Times.

The decision to take additional legal action is an escalation from the 13 women who filed federal torts claims against the FBI in late April, seeking $10 million each from the FBI for a total of $130 million.
