Nevils claimed Lauer raped her in his hotel room during 2014's winter Olympics.

The victim claimed the encounter was not consensual; however, Lauer denied these allegations.

Despite refuting the charges against him, Lauer was fired without pay.

The father-of-three has kept a low profile since the 2017 incident.

Lauer's former co-worker Katie Couric described him as a "reckless and abusive" man.
