Over a dozen survivors of sexual abuse from former gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar announced they've registered a multimillion-dollar complaint with the FBI on Thursday, claiming it failed to pursue his crimes adequately.
Each of the 13 victims is seeking $10 million, a total of $130 million in damages for the agency's"gross negligence" in its failure to investigate allegations against Nassar in 2015, which led to hundreds more unnecessary assaults, lawyers for the victims allege."No one should have been assaulted after the summer of 2015 because the FBI should have done its job," Grace French, one of the victims, said during a press conference on Thursday, according to Forbes.
Nassar was arrested in December 2016 and sentenced to 40 to 125 years behind bars in 2018 on charges of abusing hundreds of women. He had served as the doctor for the U.S. women's national gymnastics team for 18 years and sexually assaulted his victims under the guise of medical treatment, jurors found. A number of the victims, including Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, publicly criticized the FBI for its handling of the Nassar case.
"This is the largest failure on the part of law enforcement in the history of the world as it pertains to the protection of children, and there must be institutional accountability to make sure this doesn't happen again," he said during the press conference, according to the Daily Mail.
