In a 2022 lawsuit, some of Nassar's victims alleged that the FBI mishandled credible complaints of sexual assaults and failed to take them seriously.
The 139 claimants included US Olympic gymnastics gold medallists Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney.
Nassar is currently serving up to 175 years in prison for sexual assault.

My only question, Why is Nassar still breating.

How does it get to 300 with no one believing any of his victims? I’m presuming at least some of them must have come forward at the time? People need to be held responsible

The American people paid the price for DoJ and FBI incompetence. Let alone the terrible assault inflicted on these girls and women. USA Gymnastics complicit.
