1. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
"The Justice Department Inspector General has released a harshly critical report about the FBI’s handling of investigations into allegations of child exploitation. And this report identifies multiple ways in which the FBI is continuing to fall short in these types of investigations."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
"The major takeaway from this report is that there is still more work for the FBI to do in terms of how it handles, treats, processes, and investigates allegations of sexual misconduct against children. In particular, what this report found was that there were instances in which the FBI had failed to report allegations of misconduct against children to local law enforcement."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
"One of the findings that really stood out is that the inspector general reviewed more than 300 cases between 2021 and 2023. And of those it identified more than 40 that it said had not been adequately handled correctly."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Tucker, The Associated Press:
"A senior FBI official told reporters on a call that the FBI regards the investigations of crimes against children as a no-fail mission, and it says it really regards this work as a significant, important work that the FBI has determined to get 100% right. The official said that mistakes were made and… the findings of the inspector general report, the FBI has accepted all of those, recommendations and conclusions. And the FBI says it’s going to continue to work to improve, its policies and procedures, including through training for agents and supervisors."
