Larry Nassar Incident Detail

There is now an internal investigation going on. No employees or other prisoners were hurt during the incident.While working with the USA Gymnastics programme and Michigan State University, where he ran a clinic, Nassar acknowledged to sexually assaulting athletes. The former physician, who is currently incarcerated in a Florida federal prison, also admitted to having child pornography in his possession.

At USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University, Nassar has been accused of sexual assault by more than 330 women and girls. Olympic gold medalists McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and Simone Biles have all testified in court about how they overcame Nassar's torture. Some of the teenage athletes claimed that they had told adults—including coaches and doctors—about the abuse, but that they had been ignored.

According to a 2021 review into the FBI's handling of the incident, the bureau committed a number of errors, including delays and cover-ups, that allowed Nassar's abuse to continue for several more months after the probe was initiated. The FBI overlooked the Nassar complaints, according to the agency's own monitor, and made early missteps in its probe.

Raisman, Biles, and Maroney are just a few of the victims of Nassar's sexual abuse who have filed a $1 billion (£783 million) lawsuit against the FBI for handling valid sexual assault claims improperly. While Michigan State secured a $500 million deal with the survivors, USA Gymnastics agreed to pay $380 million to Nassar's victims.
