More than 100 former students have reported firsthand accounts of sexual misconduct committed by former Ohio State physician Richard Strauss, the university announced on Friday afternoon.
Ohio State launched an investigation into Strauss in April after allegations of sexual abuse during his time as the physician for the wrestling team. Since then, the investigation has expanded to male athletes in over 14 different sports and former patients of student health services.
Investigators have completed more than 200 interviews with former students and university staff believed to have information concerning the allegations involving Strauss and plan to complete at least 100 additional interviews and remain in contact with the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office.
