USA Gymnastics Sex Assault Deal Pays Some Only $82,550

A proposed USA Gymnastics tiered settlement system would pay some sexual assault victims of former U.S. team doctor Larry Nassar only $82,550, according to multiple reports on Saturday detailing the payment plans. Simone Biles, expected to be among the stars of this year's Tokyo Olympics after winning four gold medals at Rio in 2016 and 19 world titles including a fifth all-around crown last year, would be among 66 gymnasts to receive the top-level settlement amount of $1.25 million. An attorney for hundreds of victims of Nassar's abuse says the total $215 million settlement offer is insufficient and releases too many people from further claims, including the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, former USA Gymnastics chief executive Steve Penny and former national team directors Bela and Martha Karolyi. A disclosure statement filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana was outlined in reports by the Orange County Register and ESPN, detailing what 517 people Nassar assaulted would be paid under terms of the settlement.
