13 Larry Nassar Sexual Abuse Survivors File $130 Million in Claims Against FBI
The 13 administrative tort claims, filed on April 21, are similar. In one obtained by E! News, it is alleged that one of the victims suffered "significant and irreparable personal injury at the hands of Nassar following the FBI Indianapolis Field Office's lackluster investigation and failure to follow strict protocol and procedures outlined by the DOJ [Department of Justice]."
The claim states, "If not for the employees of the FBI's negligence, gross negligence, wrongful acts, and omissions, [the victim] would have been spared from continued physical trauma and abuse, subsequent mental anguish, and emotional trauma." The FBI now has six months to respond to the claims. If the agency does not reach a settlement within that span of time, the victims will have the ability to file suit in civil court.This isn't the first time the FBI has been taken to task for its handling of the case.
The FBI did not comment at the time on the report. But at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in September, FBI Director, saying, "On behalf of the entire FBI, I want to begin by saying to the brave women who testified here this morning—Ms. Biles, Ms. Maroney, Ms. Nichols, and Ms. Raisman—and I gather there were some others here today who were among the many who Nasser hurt, I'm deeply and profoundly sorry to each and every one of you.
He continued, "I'm sorry for what you and your families have been through. I'm sorry that so many different people let you down, over and over again. And I'm especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in in 2015 and failed. And that's inexcusable. It never should have happened. And we're doing everything in our power to make sure it never happens again.
