Thirteen women who were sexually assaulted by USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar are asking the FBI for $130 million for investigation failures.
Former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is serving long sentences for decades of sexual abuse of young gymnasts. But how did the sports doctor get away with his crimes for so long?Thirteen women who were sexually assaulted by former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar have filed $130 million in claims against the FBI, nearly a year after a federal investigation found two agents in Indianapolis committed"fundamental errors” for not acting sooner on allegations of abuse.
Federal tort claims filed by attorneys on behalf of the women say they suffered"significant and irreparable personal injuries" because of the FBI's failure to act on allegations that Nassar was sexually abusing gymnasts.

Abbott was also criticized for exhibiting “extremely poor judgment” because he discussed a job opportunity with USA Gymnastics at the same time his agency was looking into the Nassar allegations.
