A onetime captain on Rep. Jim Jordans (R-Ohio) former Ohio State University wrestling team warned Saturday that its going to get worse for the powerful congressman regarding the sex abuse scandal involving his old team.
Dozens of athletes accused the late university doctor Richard Strauss of sexual abuse, a number of them while Jordan was the assistant coach from 1987 to 1995. At least three athletes and a referee have said they discussed the abuse directly with Jordan, but that he took no action to stop it. The staunch Donald Trump supporter has denied he was told of any abuse or knew of it.
Former wrestler Adam DiSabato told MSNBCs Joy Reid that Jordan called him repeatedly to plead with him to contradict DiSabatos own brothers account in 2018 that he told Jordan of sexual abuse. DiSabato insisted Jordan was fully aware that Strauss was molesting athletes during physicals.
The sexual abuse was blatant knowledge throughout our wrestling team, he told Reid. There are others that are going to come out on my behalf to reveal information, and its just going to get worse, he warned.
