USA Gymnastics says it has reached a $380 million settlement with the sexual abuse survivors of former national team doctor and convicted sex offender Larry Nas
to sexually abusing 10 minors. He’s serving a virtual life sentence, technically up to 175 years in prison.
USA Gymnastics filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and reorganization Dec. 5 “to pave the way toward a settlement with survivors,” administrators said.Survivors voted “overwhelmingly” to approve the deal late last month, they said. More than 90 percent of the more than 500 victims voted yes to a tentative settlement in September.the federal government failed to provide necessary oversight of an organization created by Congress.
“I don’t want another young gymnast, or Olympic athlete, or any individual to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others have endured before, during and continuing to this day in the wake of the Larry Nassar abuse,” she said.USA Gymnastics first brought allegations of his sexual abuse to authorities in 2015.
Kathryn Carson, USA Gymnastics’ board chair, said in the administrators’ statement that survivors have “used their voices to elicit meaningful change and restructuring within USA Gymnastics, and their impact extends far beyond our sport.”
