Officials with the Indianapolis FBI office violated agency procedures, made false statements and exhibited "extremely poor judgment" in the handling of 2015 sexual abuse allegations against Larry Nassar, according to a new report.⁠ ⁠ The Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice also found that the Los Angeles FBI office failed to take steps to prevent Nassar from harming others.⁠ ⁠ In a written response issued after the report was released, the FBI said:⁠ ⁠ “As the Inspector General made clear in today’s report, this should not have happened. The FBI will never lose sight of the harm that Nassar’s abuse caused."⁠ ⁠ The inspector general's investigation began in 2018, following an internal FBI review of the delay before agents opened a formal investigation into the complaints raised in June 2015 by elite-level gymnasts, including Aly Raisman and Maggie Nichols.⁠ ⁠ Nassar was ultimately charged and convicted of child sexual abuse in Michigan state court. He also pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges that spun out of the investigation by police at Michigan State University.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read the full story.
