The years-long legal battle between USA Gymnastics and abuse survivors appears to be nearing an end after almost all the women suing the federation voted to accept a proposed $400 million settlement.
Of the 505 ballots returned by survivors, 476 were in favor of the settlement plan, according to verification documents filed Thursday night in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The remaining 29 ballots were deemed invalid because they were missing a signature or duplicated another ballot.
Other creditors also supported the plan by large measures, with just three rejections out of an additional 76 ballots.
