Nassar sexual abuse victims reach $380m deal with USA Gymnastics
Athletes who were sexually abused by former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar have reached a $380m settlement with the organisation, the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and their insurers, a lawyer for some of the victims said. The settlement – described as one of the largest ever for victims of sexual abuse – ends a five-year legal battle for victims of Nassar, 58. According to court filings, more than 500 victims have sought compensation. Nassar was sentenced in 2018 to up to 175 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting athletes while working as a sports medicine doctor at USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University (MSU).
