The FBI has failed to report some child sexual abuse allegations to local law enforcement or social service agencies even after changes prompted by its handling of the case against former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, according to a Justice Department watchdog report released Thursday.
American gymnasts from left, Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Maggie Nichols, testify during a hearing related to the FBI's handling of the Larry Nassar investigation in Washington on Sept. 15, 2021.
"Ensuring the safety and security of children is not just a priority for the FBI; it is a solemn duty that we are committed to fulfilling with the highest standards. The FBI's efforts combating crimes against children are among the most critical and demanding undertakings we do," the FBI said in a statement.
Most of the incidents that the inspector general flagged to the bureau "reflected the failure to properly document completed investigative steps or involved investigations where no additional action was necessary," Michael Nordwall, FBI executive assistant director, wrote in a letter included with the report.
Citing one agent who was juggling about 60 investigations, the inspector general said special agents "must constantly triage their caseload." The inspector general said the FBI needs to comes up with a plan to tackle the growing number of cases to ensure that agents are able to manage the cases on their plate.
