Sarah Fitzpatrick is a senior investigative producer and story editor for NBC News. She previously worked for CBS News and '60 Minutes.'
The FBI has agreed to pay more than $22 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging female recruits were singled out for dismissal in training and routinely harassed by instructors with sexually charged comments about their breast size, false allegations of infidelity and the need to take contraception “to control their moods.
” “Through passive tolerance,” the lawsuit said, “the FBI has intentionally allowed the Good Old Boy Network to flourish unrestrained at the FBI Academy.” The FBI did not immediately comment on the settlement. Many of the allegations in the lawsuit were confirmed in a 2022 internal watchdog report. The report found, for instance, that women accounted for 46% of all the trainees dismissed from the FBI Academy from 2015 to 2020, despite the fact that they represented only 25% of the entire group.
