Hundreds of women abused by the ex-US gymnastics team doctor reach a settlement with USA Gymnastics.
Olympic gold medallists McKayla Maroney, left, and Simone Biles are two of the highest profile victims
The settlement is among the largest ever for a sexual abuse case, and as part of the agreement USA Gymnastics and the Olympic Committee will give board seats to survivors. The settlement will cover claims brought by Olympic gold medallists including Simone Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney. A lawyer representing the victims described Monday's settlement as "historic" but said they would continue to "pursue justice" against officials who had failed to investigate.
