Attorneys for more than 90 women and girls who were sexually abused by disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar submitted claims for over $1 billion to the FBI, saying investigators could have ended Nassar's predation and protected other victims had they not mishandled the case.
The claimants include Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Maggie Nichols. Each has asked for $50 million, according to the law firm that represents them.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
