Jim Jordan Accused Of Covering Up Sexual Abuse, But Did He?

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has been accused of ignoring rampant sexual abuse while he was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University decades ago.

Seven former OSU wrestlers have gone to the press in the past week to claim that Jordan knew about athletic doctor Richard Strauss’ alleged sexual abuse of wrestlers. Strauss’ behavior is under investigation by the school, though he committed suicide in 2005. Former athletes, not all of whom were wrestlers, say the doctor fondled athletes during hernia checks and watched them in the shower.
