US gymnasts

The deal was announced by a California law firm representing the 332 victims of Nassar, who assaulted women and girls under the guise of medical treatment.

The deal does not include any non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, according to a statement from lawyers and the university.

It does not address allegations against other groups for which Nassar worked including USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic Committee, or the owners of the Texas facility where gymnasts trained.

A nine-month investigation by the Indianapolis Star finds 368 gymnasts allege abuse over 20 years, by at least 100 coaches, gym owners and others.

The allegations come amid claims that the US body that governs gymnastics did not do enough to prevent the assaults.

But USA Gymnastics says it is "proud of the work it has done to address and guard against child sexual abuse".
