Some 90 women, including some of the biggest names in U.S. gymnastics, have filed federal tort claims against the FBI, demanding $1billion in damages for the law enforcement agency’s mishandling of the investigation into former Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar.
Most of the women charge that Nassar, a longtime U.S. Olympic team doctor who worked at Michigan State University, abused them after sexual abuse allegations were first reported to the FBI.
In 2018, a Michigan judge sentenced Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison after he was convicted on seven counts of felony criminal sexual conduct while treating Olympians and other young gymnasts and athletes.
“The FBI knew that Larry Nassar was a danger to children when his abuse of me was first reported in September of 2015,” said gymnast Maggie Nichols, a Team USA member, according to ABC News.
“For 421 days, they worked with USA Gymnastics and [the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee] to hide this information from the public and allowed Nassar to continue molesting young women and girls. It is time for the FBI to be held accountable,” Nichols said.
Olympic gymnastics medalists Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman were among the women who filed tort claims against the FBI.
Last month, the Justice Department announced it would not bring charges against two former FBI special agents who failed to properly investigate allegations that Nassar sexually abused athletes under his care.
A Justice Department inspector general’s report found the FBI was notified of Nassar’s behavior, but failed to act for more than a year.

Lord Wellington stated that the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eaton. The Battle of freaks molesting our young women athletes will be lost on the Biden playing fields of hair sniffing, nude Whitehouse pool swims, and laws that allow men pretending to be women to compete athletically, all for the Privilege of getting mentally confused guys like Joe elected to run the country into financial and moral bankruptcy. When proven rapists and forced molesters of women like Bill Clinton can become President and never serve a day in jail, seems like this was the beginning of the end of safety for our women on the streets and a green light to any and all confused people to live out their imagined sexual fantasies with no fear of paying the penalty. This guy forgot he had not the Clintonian political connections to keep safe and had not the depravity to hire someone to kill those who knew where the skeletons or guilt proving videos were buried. Wonder if the power of the Biden name can keep Hunter Safe forever?
With so many ” Rino, ” Politicians in Washington like Liz Cheny and mitch McConnel , i don’t believe that Social Security or America Will Survive Until the Next generation can receive Social Security anyway, We should Worry if America will even exist with all those immigrants coming accross this Nations Open Borders.
Correction to above Comments, ” Immigrants “
The term “Social Security” by definition is an oxymoron,,,There is no security in Socialism.
GOOD luck with that, is all i can say.
