When I read the actual stories under those headlines, my reaction turned from dread to outrage. Jim Jordan isn’t being accused; he’s being railroaded.

(snip) -- Like many Americans, when I saw last week’s headlines about my friend, U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), I couldn’t believe them. The accusations did not describe the man of character and courage I’ve known for more than a decade. When I read the actual stories under those headlines, my reaction turned from dread to outrage. Jordan isn’t being accused; he’s being railroaded.

Jordan, as you may know, was a two-time NCAA Division I national champion wrestler. After graduating from college, he became an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University, from 1986 to 1994. This was during the decades-long career of the now deceased OSU doctor Richard Strauss, who has now been accused of sexual abuse by former OSU athletes. The university just launched an investigation in April of the claims that date back three decades.

You're most likely correct.

The silly stories I read say the doctor was 'staying a little too long while doing the yearly "hernia exam".

I used to like it when the doctors were attractive women performing that "cough and touch" back in high school and college throughout the 60's.

I'm guessing when Jim Jordan says that nothing was reported and there was locker room talk, he probably heard talk among the athletes that the doctor was a little weird in his physical exams but no one thought anything beyond that or reported him. But now days if you actually say something like that, you'll be crucified and forced from office.
