In July, 2018 former Ohio State University (OSU) wrestler Mike DiSabato went public with accusations that Ohio congressman Jim Jordan knew that Dr. Richard Strauss was sexually abusing student athletes at OSU during the time that Jordan coached the wrestling team.
DiSabato claimed he was groped by Dr. Strauss during routine medical visits. Strauss was team doctor for OSU’s wrestling team, as well as a number of other athletic teams, between 1978 and 1998. He died in 2005.
Last year OSU stated that it had received allegations of sexual misconduct by Strauss from people involved with 14 of the school’s athletic teams as well as patients from the school’s student health services unit.
