Another former OSU wrestler says Jim Jordan knew about alleged abuse

Source: CNN

(CNN)A fifth former OSU wrestler has told CNN that Jim Jordan knew about the actions of Dr. Richard Strauss, the former Ohio State University medical doctor who treated athletes, and called Jordan, who is now a US Congressman, a "phony" for saying he was not aware of any sexual abuse allegations.

"Jordan is denying this because obviously it would be political suicide for him," the former wrestler said. "He's still denying it. Jim Jordan knew. He didn't do anything about it."

"I remember coming up and saying, 'Strauss held my balls longer than normal.' He just snickered."

The former wrestler recalled one time when he went into the wrestling room at OSU and a few athletes and Jordan were "clumped together." He said he remembered saying, "something to the effect of 'his hands are cold as s**t; he checked out every hair on my ball,'" and said Jordan replied, "I have nothing to do with this" and walked away.

hopefuls to replace Lyin' Ryan as Speaker. However, Jim should be consoled by the fact that he will not end up in House of Rep. cafeteria's chicken salad -- chicken shit is not an ingredient.

Complicit silence.

Like with the girl's gymnastics programs and what happened at Penn State - protecting the institutions reputation and "legal culpability" are more important than the young men they are supposed to be caring for as responsible professionals.

Let's watch to see the Republicans who stand in complicit silence with Jordan today. Wounding these same students once more, not listening to and acknowledging sexual harassment and assault..

Eight people have come forward. Forget due process, investigations, credibility, etc. It's time for him to go.

They all peddle the lie of trickle down economics (tax cuts for the rich) to get working stiffs to vote against their own interests. Once you've had the soul-ectomy needed to sell that lie, you'll say any lie. You'll even defame victims of child rape, as Jim Jordan is doing.

My friend like Jim Jordan is from Elyria Ohio and was once the wrestling champion of the state. He is incapable of allowing by his inaction the abuse which Jim Jordan countenanced.

I'm not really sure who did what.
