Jim Jordan, a former coach for the Ohio State University wrestling team, has been combatting claims that he was privy to a series of sexual assaults perpetrated by a former team doctor during his tenure with the illustrious school.
Currently sitting as the U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 4th district, Jordan was a wrestling coach at OSU from 1987 to 1995. During his tenure, Jordan worked alongside team physician Dr. Richard Strauss, a man who would later be accused of molesting more than 170 male students under the guise of routine medical examinations. Speaking out, several former OSU students revealed that Jim Jordan and former head coach Russ Hellickso knew about the allegations levied against Strauss.
