A group of Olympic gymnasts, including gold medallists Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, are among dozens of survivors of sexual abuse by sport doctor Larry Nassar who are suing the FBI for more than $1bn, their lawyers have said.
More than 90 survivors of abuse by Nassar planned to file the lawsuit on Wednesday. The move comes two weeks after the Justice Department chose not to prosecute two FBI investigators, despite an internal watchdog report that found the agents failed to properly respond to reports of Nassar’s abuse in 2015, leaving him to assault at least 70 more young athletes.
