Ahia State team doctor abused 177 Athletes

A few excerpts from the AP report -

"Ahia State team doctor sexually abused at least 177 male students from the 1970s through the 1990s, and numerous university officials got wind of what was going on over the years but did little or nothing to stop him, according to a report released by the school Friday."

"there was a “consistent institutional failure” at Ahia State"

"Many told investigators that they thought his behavior was an “open secret” and that they believed their coaches, trainers and other team doctors knew was going on"

" scores of Ahia State personnel knew of complaints and concerns about Strauss’ conduct as early as 1979 but failed for years to investigate or take meaningful action"

"students’ allegations never left the department or the health center"

" Separately, the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is examining whether Ahia State responded promptly and fairly to students’ complaints. The department could cut the university’s federal funding"

Glad to see the Buzzard doesn't care about Ohio State U. He only posts about them often.

If not for tOSUdogpeckergnat constantly referring to Ahia State and the new scandals coming out of Columbus every few months, I'd have no interest in the Buckeyes at all.

I’m sure Jim Jordan knew as well.

So you finally admit that you're a habitual liar, as you have posted repeatedly on this very board that nobody here cares about Ohio State. You do realize that this is an old story reported long ago about a sick pervert who killed himself in 2005, don't you? This isn't a "new scandal," idiot, but the rehashing of it does give you yet another opportunity to confirm what a complete and total fraud that you truly are. I laugh at you...every. single. day.

Yeah, it happened years ago but check out the dateline on this article. It was all over the newsfeeds yesterday, so it seems that something may finally be done about it.

Ohio State said Friday that an investigation had confirmed — in voluminous details gleaned from hundreds of interviews — that a team doctor had sexually abused at least 177 men, including many varsity athletes, while working for the university in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.

The university also revealed that dozens of Ohio State officials, including more than 50 athletic department staff members, were aware of the doctor’s actions during his nearly two-decade tenure yet did not act to stop them.

In a 182-page report issued on Friday, Ohio State detailed how the doctor, Richard H. Strauss, had groped students, required them to strip unnecessarily during examinations, and asked intimate questions about sexual practices under the guise of providing medical treatment.

“The findings are shocking and painful to comprehend,” the Ohio State president, Michael V. Drake, said in a statement.

That summer, Dr. Strauss was first suspended and then removed from his post, but he remained a tenured faculty member. Dr. Strauss then opened an off-campus clinic, where he continued to abuse students. He was still a professor emeritus at the time of his death, though Ohio State said Friday that it would begin the process of revoking that status.

This is the second time in less than a year that the Ohio State’s athletic department has faced scrutiny for failing to address its knowledge of abuse more forthrightly. Last summer, Urban Meyer, then the Buckeyes’ football coach, was found to have known for years that one of his assistants, Zach Smith, had been accused of assault by his former wife.

Meyer insisted that he had “always followed proper protocols and procedures” by “elevating the issues to the proper channels,” but he was placed on administrative leave during an investigation and suspended for three games for failing to appropriately manage an employee. In December, he announced his retirement.

In the Strauss report, investigators laid out how, starting as early as 1979, athletes reported coming in for treatment for a variety of ailments, including one who had a sore throat, only to find that Dr. Strauss would touch their genitals. The accounts were so numerous, the report said, that investigators elected not to include an exhaustive accounting of each one. But those that were included — a student who reported going for treatment of an ear problem and having his genitals fondled as part of the examination, a wrestler required to strip naked and walk across a room so Dr. Strauss could evaluate his gait — were clear red flags to the coaches and trainers later told about them.

“From roughly 1979 to 1996,” the report said, “male students complained that Strauss routinely performed excessive — and seemingly medically unnecessary — genital exams, regardless of the medical condition the student-patients presented.”

The report also said that in one case, when a student responded to abuse “with anger and some physicality,” Dr. Strauss accused the student of assaulting him.

Still, as late as 1995, Dr. Strauss received nothing lower than “excellent” on his performance evaluation.

said last year that Dr. Strauss groped him “19 exams out of 20.” He said he was inspired to come forward after watching gymnasts accuse Larry Nassar, a former Michigan State doctor, of sexual abuse.

Other wrestlers also spoke out about their abuse, including Michael Rodriguez, who said, “When you’d get a lesion or breakout or infection on your face, you took a rough elbow, whatever, the intimacy with which he would conduct that examination was as creepy and inappropriate as the ‘turn your head and cough’ stuff.”

Strauss was team physician for several sports, including the men’s swimming, wrestling, gymnastics, fencing and lacrosse teams, and sometimes treated athletes from other sports as well. Wrestling had the most victims, according to the report, with 48, but athletes from more than a dozen sports were sexually abused, the university said.
 
You're spending your whole weekend obsessing about Ohio State, but don't care about the school, right? You are one dishonest old turd. This scandal was reported last Summer when you were pretending to not care about Ohio State, and is only back in the news now, due to the completion of the school's investigation into it. Welcome to 2018, dumb a$$. But you don't care about Ohio State, right?

glad to see whenever the attorney or myself post, you're always quick to come out of nowhere to chime in.
Like whenever you show up and post, the so called attorney is right behind you. Why is that?

I have posted 5 times in the last month and none were in response to either one of you. But you keep playing with your buddy.

Still imagining that black helicopters are circling your single wide, I see...nothing ever changes in your World of Delusion. I post in many threads that MichiganHerd doesn't post in, but you're too clueless to notice.
