Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and nearly 90 more women are seeking $1 billion from the FBI for its failure to stop sports doctor and convicted child molester Larry Nassar from assaulting them.

The Department of Justice has acknowledged that FBI agents knew as early as 2015 that Larry Nassar was accused of assaulting gymnasts, but they took no action and his assault on girls and young women he treated for the USA Gymnastics Team continued for more than a year. The approximately 90 claimants include Biles and fellow Olympic gold medalists Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney, according to Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, a California law firm.
