Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer reflected on the gravity of Nassar’s actions and the FBI’s initial inaction. “For decades, Lawrence Nassar abused his position, betraying the trust of those under his care and medical supervision while skirting accountability,” Mizer stated. He emphasized that the allegations should have been taken seriously from the very beginning. “While these settlements won’t undo the harm Nassar inflicted, our hope is that they will help give the victims of his crimes some of the critical support they need to continue healing.”
