The article says the FBI knew of the accusations by 2015, but didn't have Nassar arrested until late 2016 more than a year later. Does anybody know if a year of delay is typical or atypical? I don't know much about these processes, but my general cynicism towards the federal government has me thinking less than two years was actually fairly quick to act, by federal government standards. But I'm curious to hear what others think.
