LARRY NASSAR

Changes are coming at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, sparked by frustration with years of flat revenue and what some portray as heavy-handed management in the wake of sex-abuse scandals that upended the movement in America.

58-year-old Nassar pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting over 150 young gymnasts and other athletes and will spend the rest of his life in prison.

58-year-old Nassar pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting over 150 young gymnasts and other athletes and will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Nassar's attorneys said he was treated unfairly in 2018 and deserved a new hearing, based on vengeful remarks by a judge.

The Michigan Supreme Court has rejected a final appeal from sports doctor Larry Nassar, who was sentenced to decades in prison for sexually assaulting gymnasts, including Olympic medalists.

Two former star gymnasts are eager to lead USA Gymnastics into a new era.

In remarks to Congress last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged major mistakes.

There's no dispute that FBI agents in 2015 knew Nassar was accused of molesting gymnasts, but they failed to act, leaving him free to continue to target young women and girls for more than a year.

Simone Biles: What you need to know Simone Biles: What You Need to KnowFour-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and several other gymnasts are seeking more than $1 billion from the Federal Bureau of Investigation for failing to stop a sports doctor from molesting athletes, The Associated Press is reporting. In July 2015, USA Gymnastics informed FBI agents in Indianapolis of sexual abuse allegations against team doctor Larry Nassar, according to the AP and The New York Times. Despite that report, the FBI didn’t begin a formal investigation or alert federal authorities, the Justice Department’s inspector general said.

The former Olympian could continue to work on the outside while attempting to hold USA Gymnastics accountable as it tries to emerge from the rubble of the Larry Nassar scandal. While Schwikert Moser stressed she had no issue with any of the hires personally, she called the decision to pass on Moceanu a missed opportunity. USA Gymnastics board chair Kathryn Carson called having someone with Schwikert's background a “tremendous addition to our board" and "critically important to ensuring sustained cultural change at USA Gymnastics.”A change Schwikert Moser is adamant about seeing through.

The Deputy Attorney General told Congress last year that prosecutors would review new evidence about FBI failures in the investigation of Larry Nassar.

The FBI agents accused of bungling the probe of sex abuse by former US Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar will not be charged with a crime, the Justice Department has decided after reviewing additional evidence.

Heaps sexually abused patients for years while UCLA Health put profits over their safety," attorney Jennifer McGrath said in a statement. Heaps, 65, who retired as the scandal unfolded, has pleaded not guilty to 21 felony counts for allegedly sexually assaulting seven women. Women who brought the lawsuits said UCLA ignored their complaints and deliberately concealed abuse that happened for decades during examinations at the UCLA student health center, the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center or in Heaps' campus office. The most recent settlement with 312 women resolves the vast majority of claims against Heaps, the university said. “The conduct alleged to have been committed by Heaps is reprehensible and contrary to our values,” UCLA said in a statement.

The University of California system has agreed to pay $375 million to more than 300 women who said they were sexually abused by a longtime UCLA gynecologist.

MeToo Prosecutions This combination of 2017-2020 photos shows, from left, Dr. Larry Nassar, Mario Batali, and Harvey Weinstein. Legal experts and victims’ advocates say celebrity chef Batali’s acquittal on sexual assault charges underscores the inherent difficulties of prosecuting such cases nearly five years into the #MeToo era. Celebrity chef Mario Batali was acquitted this week on just the second day of his sexual assault trial in Boston. “Sexual assault victims are trusted less than nearly every other crime victim,” he said. The Batali acquittal parallels another high-profile #MeToo case in Massachusetts that fell apart over issues involving the accuser.

The University of Southern California has settled a lawsuit with 80 former students — mostly gay and bisexual men — who accused a male doctor of sexual misconduct.

"This was not a case involving fake 20 dollar bills or tax cheats," one attorney said. "These were allegations of a serial rapist who was known to the FBI as the Olympic U.S. doctor with unfettered access to young women."

The Justice Department’s inspector general found last year that the FBI made fundamental errors when it became aware of allegations against Nassar.

A lawsuit alleging that a former UCLA gynecologist sexually abused hundreds of women has been settled for $243.6 million.

The University of California has agreed to pay more than $100 million to settle allegations that several hundred women were sexually abused by a former UCLA gynecologist.

Dwight Hicks and Jon Vaughn, both former NFL players, told The Associated Press that the $490 million settlement the Ann Arbor school announced this week is another example of Black victims receiving less than white victims in big-money payouts. The majority of the claimants in the settlement are Black men, said John Manly, an attorney involved in the case. Although the victims of the school's former sports doctor Robert Anderson are expected to receive between $400,000 and $500,000, the victims of Larry Nassar — who sexually assaulted gymnasts at Michigan State University — averaged $1.2 million in payouts. None of the 332 initial individuals represented by his firm in the Nassar case were Black, White said, adding that all were white and only one was a man. He said he was given 50 prostate exams by Anderson during his two years at the University of Michigan.

Two former University of Michigan football stars who stand to receive as much as $500,000 each through the school’s sexual abuse settlement with more than 1,000 students say the per-victim payouts should be much higher.

Michigan State was accused of ignoring or dismissing complaints against him. Michigan State's $500 million settlement was larger though it involved fewer victims, approximately 520, than in the Anderson scandal.

A $490 million deal to settle claims of sexual assault against a University of Michigan doctor will be handled in a similar way to the $500 million agreement worked out in 2018 by Michigan State University and the victims of Larry Nassar.

The legal wrangling between USA Gymnastics and the victims of sexual abuse by former national team doctor Larry Nassar, among others, is over. More than 300 victims were abused by Nassar, with the remaining victims abused by individuals affiliated with USA Gymnastics in some capacity. A series of nonmonetary provisions will make the victims stakeholders at USA Gymnastics going forward. “Individually and collectively, survivors have stepped forward with bravery to advocate for enduring change in this sport,” USA Gymnastics president Li Li Leung said in a statement after the settlement was approved. The move also forced the USOPC to halt the decertification process it began against USA Gymnastics.

Last month's hearing was part of a congressional effort to hold the FBI accountable after multiple missteps in investigating the case, including delays that allowed the now-imprisoned Nassar to abuse other young gymnasts. Hundreds of girls and women have said Nassar sexually abused them under the guise of medical treatment when he worked for Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians.

The Justice Department on Friday outlined a broad new push to support crime victims, including coordinating with state and local authorities in cases where federal charges won't be brought.

INDIANAPOLIS — (AP) — USA Gymnastics could be near the final stages of the legal fallout of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal. “After extensive discussions, this plan has been jointly proposed by USA Gymnastics and the Committee, and it is supported by many of the involved insurers,” USA Gymnastics said in a statement. “We anticipate that this plan will be confirmed later this year and greatly appreciate all parties’ efforts to get to this point.”The proposal was put together by the USA Gymnastics and the Survivors Committee.
