    Edit:: OH THIS IS THE CASE Rep. JIM JORDAN KNEW ABOUT. Fuck that guy.

    That’s it?! They let that man operate for 20 years knowing he was abusing boys and men in their care. 20 fucking years.

    Strauss, ‌who killed ⁠himself in 2005, was employed by Ohio State’s athletic department and medical staff for nearly two decades.

    A 2019 report detailing the investigative findings said that Strauss had sexually abused at least ​177 men, nearly ​all of whom ⁠were students, and that university staff who knew of the abuse failed to act. The ​abuse included groping and fondling of the students’ ​genitals ⁠and other acts under the guise of a medical examination.

    News of the investigation and its findings prompted more than 500 plaintiffs to ⁠sue ​Ohio State, alleging they had been ​sexually abused by Strauss and that the school had shown deliberate indifference.

    It should be much, much more.
