LOS
ANGELES, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
"This settlement concludes the darkest chapter in the
history of competitive sports. It illuminates the soul crushing
trail of destruction paved by one evil man and enabled by several
of our nation's most powerful institutions. Michigan State University, USA Gymnastics the United States Olympic and
Paralympic Committee and now the FBI have all been proven to be
complicit in the sexual abuse of more than 500 women. My sister
survivors dragged these powerful institutions into the bright light
of the media and the courts so that this will never happen again,"
said attorney and victim's advocate Sarah
Klein.
A former competitive gymnast, Sarah is the first known victim of
former Olympic women's gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. At the 2018 ESPY Awards, Sarah
accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage
Award on behalf of herself and the hundreds of other survivors who
spoke out and testified about Nassar's abuse. Sarah was an
important survivor voice in securing a $500
million settlement with Michigan State
University and $380 million
settlement with USA Gymnastics.
She continues to fight for survivors as an attorney with Manly
