Karolyis Sue USAG; Hold Strong To Claims Of Ignorance Regarding Nassar
The Karolyis filed a lawsuit against USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee for breach in contract and failure to protect athletes from Larry Nassar.
The Karolyis are suing USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee over the allegedly wrongful termination of a contract in which the organization was to purchase portions of the ranch. The couple also blames USAG for not informing them of Larry Nassar's actions after the organization knew of his crimes.
"During the negotiation of the purchase agreement, USAG never informed the Karolyis of Larry Nassar's alleged sexual misconduct on the property although they had knowledge of the same from the reports they received in 2015," the lawsuit read.
According to court documents, the Karolyis are seeking monetary compensation for "breaches of contract and duties owed to plaintiffs which have resulted in severe damages to plaintiffs' reputation, health, and real property," as reported by CNN.
The couple has stuck to their initial statements—that they had no knowledge of Nassar's abuses that took place on their property prior to his arrest.
So the Karoylis are suing USAG and the USOC now? Rich....https://t.co/8XBDpktwJP
