"Ohio State Reports Over 1,500 Instances of Sexual Assault by Team Doctor"

Ohio State University officials are reporting more than 1,500 separate instances where former team doctor Richard Strauss sexually assaulted students.

The figures were released Tuesday as part of the university’s federally required Clery report, an annual breakdown of campus crime statistics.

That review, conducted by outside law firm Perkins Coie and released in May, concluded that Ohio State failed to properly respond to evidence of abuse by Strauss for almost two decades.

Lawyers argue that the number of men abused by Strauss actually top 300. More than half of that sum have already joined federal lawsuits against Ohio State, which is currently in mediation with accusers for a possible settlement.

A state working group in August found that the Ohio Medical Board also had credible evidence of sexual misconduct by Strauss but failed to inform law enforcement. A 1996 investigation into Strauss resulted in no discipline, despite determining the doctor had been "performing inappropriate genital exams on male students for years."

Read the article; people did say something, but little was done in response. For example:

Outside investigators discovered that Strauss was eventually disciplined for multiple sexual abuse complaints in 1996. Despite that, he voluntarily retired two years later and received an "emeritus" honor that he maintained until his death.

You mean someone just assumed based on a narrative without reading the actual article posted?

The people in charge really fucked the dog on this one and should go to jail for every assault after they were notified.

I'm thinking that this can't be good for tOhio State University.

Large scale sexual assault/misconduct seems to be an emerging trend in the Big 10; first at Penn St., then Michigan St., now Ohio St. Maybe the schools that don't have "State" in their name will be able to escape this disgraceful entanglement.

USC’s case seems to be swept under the rug in all of this.

At least 1,500 times it wasn't. How disappointing!
