A college wrestling referee says he reported sexual misconduct involving a former doctor whos been accused sexually abusing nearly 300 hundred men over a 17-year period to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a former assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State. The congressman was dismissive, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court, and the doctor, Richard Strauss, continued to treat and abuse students at the school.
Ohio State says its aware of 1,429 instances of fondling and 47 instances of rape involving Strauss, who committed suicide in 2005. Thursdays filing marks the 13th lawsuit against the school. Jordan has found himself at the periphery of the controversy because some former wrestlers have said he was aware or should have been aware of Strausss misconduct. Jordan has denied any knowledge of the abuse, and did so again on Friday.
Congressman Jordan never saw or heard of any kind of sexual abuse, and if he had he wouldve dealt with it, Jordan spokesman Ian Fury. Multiple investigations have confirmed this simple fact.
The lawsuit comes as Jordan, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, has
taken a leading role in the House
impeachment inquiry of President Trump as perhaps Trumps most aggressive defender. Inside numerous closed door interviews conducted over the past six weeks, Jordan and a senior Oversight Committee aide reporting to him led GOP questioning.
