For all of the article, tap on the thread, mucj more there.
I'm only going to post the Ohio State University points.

" New allegations in the Ohio State University sexual abuse scandal are threatening to intensify the political firestorm facing its onetime assistant wrestling coach, powerful GOP Rep. Jim Jordan."

snip


Larkins Hall, the building that housed athletic teams, became such a well-known target that people who frequented it at the time have reminisced in anonymous postings online how easy it was to ogle naked members of the wrestling team.

Multiple former wrestlers have accused Jordan, a National Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee, of being among the faculty members who turned a blind eye to inappropriate behavior by the late Richard Strauss, the university’s former athletic doctor. Strauss allegedly preyed on male students during physicals, groping them to the point of making them ejaculate, according to one nurse who witnessed it and recounted the story in a video produced by alleged victims and obtained by POLITICO.

The Ohio State scandal — and talk of Jordan specifically — is tearing apart the university’s once tight-knit alumni wrestling network. Jordan’s former wrestlers are now warring publicly, with some accusing him of not doing enough to protect them and others coming to his defense.



I'm only highlighting the OSU stuff hete because the university is such a powerhouse here.

I don't think JJ is gay. But then I realized that sexual assault is about power. And JJ is sick in the head wanting power. Maybe he did watch and thought it was funny or got a kick out of it. We all watched him assault the Deputy FBI director the other day using lies and distortions. He is sick in the head......that is true. So I don't put this past him.
Even if he is gay, this is not about being gay.
