The Respect for Child Survivors Act aims to eradicate the failures that occurred during the USA Gymnastics-Larry Nassar scandal in 2015, which the FBI took an entire year to handle.

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.

Approximately 90 young women filed federal tort claims against the FBI Wednesday seeking more than $1 billion in damages for the bureau’s alleged mishandling of its investigation into sexual abuse claims against former U.S. Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar.

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and dozens of other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar are seeking more than $1 billion from the FBI for failing to stop the now convicted sports doctor when the agency first received allegations against him, lawyers said Wednesday.

The U.S. Justice Department said will not pursue criminal charges against former FBI agents who failed to quickly open an investigation of sports doctor Larry Nassar.

Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics told FBI agents in 2015 that three gymnasts said they were assaulted by Larry Nassar. But the FBI did not open a formal investigation or inform federal or state authorities in Michigan, according to the inspector general’s report.

Thirteen sexual assault victims are seeking $10 million each from the FBI.

USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have reached a $380 million settlement with hundreds of victims of sexual abuse
