Former Ohio State assistant wrestling coach and current United States Congressman Jim Jordan turned a blind eye to sexual abuse committed by the deceased Dr. Richard Strauss, according to allegations NBC News reported Tuesday.
The university announced in April an investigation into Dr. Strauss, who died in 2005, revolving around allegations he abused athletes while serving as a team doctor from the 1970s to late 1990s.
Jordan coached at Ohio State from 1986 to 1994 and has previously denied knowing anything of the abuse. Former wrestlers disagree.
Dunyasha Yetts, who wrestled at Ohio State in 1993 and 1994, said he and others told Jordan about Strauss.
