The report released Monday shows overall violent crime ticked down an estimated 3% in 2023 from the year before, according to the FBI. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 birth control “to control their moods.” The payout to 34 women dismissed from the FBI’s training academy in Quantico, Virginia would rank among the biggest sexual misconduct settlements in the history of the bureau. The FBI did not immediately comment. Many of the allegations were confirmed in a 2022 internal watchdog report.
