10 More Former Students Sue Ohio State Over Alleged Abuse by Dr. Strauss
Source: The Daily Beast
Ten more Ohio State University students have filed a lawsuit against the school, alleging they were abused by Dr. Richard Strauss, who treated student-athletes. The Associated Press reports that the 10 former students involved accuse school officials of facilitating abuse by ignoring complaints and forcing them to see Strauss to keep their scholarships and spots on their teams. Dr. Strauss preyed on male students, fondling, groping, sexually assaulting, and harassing them. He did so with OSUs knowledge and support, the lawsuit states. It also claims that some plaintiffs reported Strauss behavior to the school, and nine former university employees knew about Strauss behavior. This is the third federal lawsuit filed against the university, but seeks damages for the 10 particular individuals rather than the entire Ohio State student body. Strauss killed himself in 2005, and his university records show no official punishment for any alleged abuse. This comes after congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) was accused of having knowledge of several abuse claims against the doctor when he was an assistant wrestling coach at the university.

Plus there's always hope that he's been involved in some Hastert-esque cover-up that could take him down on finance violations.
He's just to big of an asshole to not be guilty of something.
