US justice department to pay Larry Nassar assault survivors $138m

The US Department of Justice will pay over $138 million to survivors of disgraced national gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.
 
In a 2022 lawsuit, some of Nassar's victims alleged that the FBI mishandled credible complaints of sexual assaults and failed to take them seriously.
 
The 139 claimants included US Olympic gymnastics gold medallist, Simone Biles.
 
Nassar is currently serving up to 175 years in prison for sexual assault.
 
In 2021, the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General, which serves as a watchdog for the FBI, concluded that the agency disregarded allegations about Nassar and made a raft of errors.
