As gymnastics prepares to return to national prominence at the Tokyo Olympics later this month, the Department of Justice released a report Wednesday hammering the FBI for numerous failures when originally presented with allegations of sexual abuse by former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar in 2015.
The report is the latest reckoning on how individual and systemic failures allowed Nassar to continue his reign of terror, even after being credibly accused by young women who sought him out for treatment only to be assaulted.
Nassar, 57, is currently serving a lengthy federal prison sentence in Florida for possession of child pornography.
