The FBI has agreed to pay $22.6 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by 34 women who claimed they were wrongly dismissed from the agency's training academy in Quantico, Virginia, due to sex discrimination. The lawsuit, initiated in 2019, alleged that female recruits were singled out for dismissal during training and routinely harassed by instructors with sexually charged comments. The settlement, agreed upon by the U.S. Department of Justice, addresses claims that the FBI's training academy fostered a discriminatory environment against female trainees.
