"My fellow survivors and I were betrayed by every institution that was supposed to protect us—the US Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics, the FBI and now the Department of Justice. It is clear that the only path to justice and healing is through the legal process." -McKayla Maroney
(Washington, DC) — [PJMedia.com] Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, and McKayla Maroney are among a group of almost a hundred women who are suing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for allowing serial sexual predator Larry Nassar to continue his abuse even after the Bureau was made aware of it.

More than 90 women who say they were sexually assaulted by Lawrence G. Nassar, the former doctor for USA Gymnastics who was convicted on state sexual abuse charges, filed lawsuits on Wednesday against the FBI for its failure to investigate him when it received credible information about his crimes.
The lawsuits come two weeks after the Justice Department decided not to prosecute two former F.B.I. agents accused of bungling the bureau's 2015 investigation into Mr. Nassar, allowing him to assault girls for more than a year before Michigan authorities arrested him. The agents were accused by the Justice Department's own watchdog of making false statements about the matter.
"Bungling" is a rather benign word given the horrific gravity of this situation. That the FBI decided not to prosecute the agents furthers the Bureau's reputation as perhaps both the most inept and corrupt agency in the United States federal government.
Here's Maroney's heart-wrenching and damning statement regarding the lawsuit:
"My fellow survivors and I were betrayed by every institution that was supposed to protect us—the US Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics, the FBI and now the Department of Justice," Ms. Maroney said in a statement. "It is clear that the only path to justice and healing is through the legal process," she added.
One of the more galling aspects of this tragic story is that the FBI wasn't working with second-hand information about Nassar. They actually interviewed some of the young women who were being abused and decided not to proceed anyway... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
