Justice Department to pay $138.7 million to Nassar victims
The Washington Post — April 24, 2024, 12:00 AM UTC
Summary: The Justice Department will pay $138.7 million to Larry Nassar's victims due to failure to investigate, settling 139 legal claims. Nassar, a former Team USA gymnastics doctor, committed hundreds of assaults over decades. FBI agents' mishandling of allegations in 2015 and 2016 led to the settlement. Total payouts to Nassar's victims exceed $1 billion, with Michigan State and the U.S. Olympic Committee also paying settlements.
