"I never had a physical like this before, one of the former Ohio State wrestlers said in the video.by Corky Siemaszko / Jul.09.2018 / 12:08 PM ET / Updated Jul.12.2018 / 3:18 PM ET
A video that was created to spur on the internal university investigation into a former Ohio State University wrestling doctor and last week led to questions about what Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a former coach, knew about the alleged abuse at the time is an emotional recounting of what one former athlete has called a "cesspool of sexual deviance."
The heavily edited 11-minute video, excerpted here, features wrenching descriptions of the alleged misconduct by Dr. Richard Strauss from two former wrestlers whom Jordan coached more than two decades ago, and from former head coach Russ Hellickson and a former Ohio State student who worked with Strauss at a clinic and who says he, too, was molested by the doctor.
Jordan, who was the assistant wrestling coach under Hellickson, is not mentioned by name nor referred to in the footage, which was obtained by NBC News from former Ohio State wrestler Mike DiSabato, the initial whistleblower. DiSabato says he created the video in June to collect accusations of abuse against Strauss and turned it over to Ohio State. The video received by NBC News did not include the unedited interviews.
