A new report following an extensive investigation at Ohio State has found a team doctor molested 177 men over two decades, and that university officials knew of the abuse and did not stop it.
The report found that Dr. Richard Strauss was a serial abuser between 1978 and 1998, and that personnel at the university knew what he was doing as early as 1979.
Nothing was reported until 1996, when Strauss finally stepped down. He committed suicide in 2005.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a top conservative voice in the House, was a former assistant coach on the Ohio State wrestling team, but he was not mentioned in the report.
“It confirms everything I said,” Jordan told reporters. “If we’d have known about it we’d have reported it. It confirms everything I’ve said before. I didn’t know about anything. If I would’ve, I’d have done something.
