FBI continues to mishandle
A recent audit by the Justice Department's Inspector General has revealed that the FBI continues to mishandle allegations of child sexual abuse despite reforms implemented following the Larry Nassar scandal. The report examined 327 cases and found significant deficiencies, including a lack of compliance with mandatory reporting requirements, with 47% of cases not reported to local law enforcement and 50% not reported to social services. One alarming case involved a registered sex offender who continued to abuse a child for 15 months after the FBI received allegations without taking proper action. The Inspector General emphasized the need for the FBI to improve its investigative processes and compliance with policies designed to protect vulnerable children. In response, the FBI acknowledged the compliance issues and stated it is committed to rectifying these failures, though concerns about the effectiveness of these reforms remain. The audit underscores the ongoing need for oversight and accountability within the bureau regarding child protection efforts.
