A doctor working at the Ohio State University abused at least 177 men during his tenure at the school, OSU officials said today as they released the findings of an investigation undertaken by a private law firm hired by the university. What's more, school leaders at the time knew about the abuse, the report states.
Team doctor Richard Strauss abused athletes playing at least 16 sports at the university plus others who attended a campus health center and an off-campus clinic between 1979 and 1997, according to the investigation. Strauss was employed at OSU from 1978 to 1998.
OSU President Michael Drake called the alleged abuse a "fundamental failure" of the university and expressed "profound regret and sincere apologies to each person" whom Strauss abused.
The investigation comes after a series of lawsuits against OSU alleging the abuse. Some of the plaintiffs in those lawsuits say that more than 20 school officials — from athletic directors to now-U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, at one time an OSU assistant wrestling coach — knew about Strauss' actions. Jordan has denied knowledge of the incidents. Neither he nor the school's wrestling program are mentioned in the report released today, though many passages are redacted.

now this.
Story is spare on details. Is this like the one last year or so where they were upset he was giving a hernia exam or procto? Or was he bending them over the exam table and going a bit too far?
With holding judgment...
If only team doctors could get married, this sort of thing would never happen. /s

Seems so unlikely that a college age male would allow a doctor to sexually abuse him and not just deck him.
There was a major hit piece written about this. The claim was 'Jordan knew'.
The facts amount to this:
Jordan was an assistant coach. Some guys in the locker room were talking about/joking about the doctor being touchy-feely.
From this locker room chatter, it was claimed 'Jordan knew' and did nothing.
None of the alleged victims ever told the head coach, the president of the university, campus security, or the police.
But because of this alleged locker room talk Jordan was personally responsible for not reporting the matter.
The two guys who accused Jordan of knowing backtracked and the story largely disappeared.
People who hate Jordan still bring it up but as the article says, Jordan isn't mentioned in the final report because he had basically nothing to do with it.
"It's sad for me to hear that he's denying," said one former wrestler. "I don’t know why he would, unless it’s a cover-up."

Me, too.
When I was in Navy boot camp, we had to line up naked
while some dude claiming to be a doctor groped us one
after the other. While some seemed to enjoy it, us
regular guys didn’t. Well, maybe a little.
I think people in general are subdued because.....hey, it’s a doctor. College age boys would be too embarrassed to say anything, maybe thinking it was their fault.
I read some of the statements today & he was a real creep & did disgusting things.
