The U.S. government has reportedly come to a settlement agreement for a payout to a group of around 100 of Larry Nassar's sexual assault victims.

According to multiple reports citing those familiar with the settlement, the U.S. Justice Department agreed to pay around $100 million to victims of former national womens gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today reported.

According to the victims, the FBI failed to take seriously multiple reports of Nassar's abuse.

Scripps News has reached out to the Department of Justice about the agreement but did not immediately receive a response.

The agreement between the government and victims had not been finalized by Wednesday afternoon, a source told USA Today.
