The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Tuesday it reached a $138.7 million settlement with victims of former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.

The settlement resolves 139 claims from victims of the former Michigan State doctor after they accused the FBI of mishandling abuse accusations against Nassar, according to the DOJ press release. The DOJ’s Inspector General released a report in 2021 criticizing the FBI’s handling of the investigation into the victim’s claims.
