The Justice Department’s watchdog found the FBI repeatedly botched its handling of sexual abuse allegations against former USA gymnastics physician Larry Nassar.
According to the inspector general s report released on Wednesday, bureau officials starting in 2015 didn’t take serious claims against the coach, who plead guilty in 2017 to federal charges of child pornography and tampering. Combined with a guilty plea in Michigan state court to three counts of sexual assault, Nassar, 57, is set to spend the rest of his life in prison.
According to the report by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the FBI also failed to alert local authorities about Nassar s abuses, covered up their missteps, and lied to investigators.
