INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana attorney general said his office is investigating USA Gymnastics, which has filed for bankruptcy due to the Larry Nassar sexual-abuse scandal.
USA Gymnastics, based in Indianapolis, is the national governing body for the sport. It filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 5 to reorganize its finances while it faces lawsuits from Nassar's survivors, who accuse USA Gymnastics of failing to supervise the doctor.
In a statement on Wednesday, Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill said his office has been investigating USA Gymnastics for about a year. He didn't offer details, although he said he'll work "diligently to ensure nonprofit entities in Indiana act with integrity."
USA Gymnastics said it is cooperating with the investigation.
Nassar is in prison for sexual abuse and child pornography crimes. The U.S. Olympic Committee is trying to decertify USA Gymnastics.
