COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The investigation and related lawsuits about alleged sexual abuse decades ago by an Ohio State University team doctor have cost nearly $10 million so far, according to the school.

The total was about $9.8 million as of December, school spokesman Benjamin Johnson said by email.

That figure is likely to grow as federal lawsuits against the university over its handling of the late Dr. Richard Strauss remain in mediation. About 350 men have sued Ohio State, alleging athletics and student health officials failed to stop the doctor despite knowing concerns about him during his two decades there.

Many of the men say they were fondled during medical exams. The law firm that investigated the allegations for the school concluded last year that the doctor abused athletes and other young men between 1979 and 1997 in his work at campus athletic facilities, the student health center and his off-campus men’s clinic, and even at his home.

2. I know Gym has a strong jaw and lips,

too bad he didn't use them to report the abuse. I wish I had a pair of work boots made out of his lips, I would only need 1 pair.

3. Gym Jordan and the others

who knew what was going on should be included in this lawsuit. They knew, but let many more young athletes suffer abuse. Shameful.
How did he get elected? Gerrymandering at its' finest? His performance at the recent hearings should be more than enough to get him thrown out of office.
