Victims of sexual predator and former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar will receive a collective $138.7 million from the Justice Department to resolve 139 claims of alleged FBI negligence, the agency announced Tuesday.

Nassar spent decades abusing young athletes, including Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman, before their complaints got any traction. Early filings with the FBI brought no action, and the complaints languished for months, during which even more girls and young women were abused.

The U.S. Justice Department has reached a $138.7 million civil settlement with hundreds of victims of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, who is serving time in prison for sexually abusing athletes under his care, the agency said on Tuesday.

The settlement resolves claims the FBI botched the initial investigation into Nassar, the Justice Department said.

The Justice Department agreed on Tuesday to pay $138.7 million to settle 139 claims of those who accused the FBI of mishandling sexual assault allegations against disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nasar in 2015 and 2016.

Nassar worked at Michigan State University and was the team doctor at USA Gymnastics in Indianapolis. Several current and former athletes, including Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Maggie Nichols, all testified at a 2021 Senate hearing that the FBI failed to act on their complaints against him.

The U.S. Justice Department announced a $138.7 million settlement Tuesday with more than 100 people who accused the FBI of grossly mishandling allegations of sexual assault against Larry Nassar in 2015 and 2016, a critical time gap that allowed the sports doctor to continue to prey on victims before his arrest.

When combined with other settlements, $1 billion now has been set aside by various organizations to compensate hundreds of women who said Nassar assaulted them under the guise of treatment for sports injuries.
