Those who are fans of the Ohio State Buckeyes know about former Buckeye doctor Richard Strauss. Strauss was accused of sexually abusing over 230 men, mostly wrestlers, during his time as a doctor at The Ohio State University. He worked there from 1978-1998.
Strauss was accused of misbehavior dating back to the early 1970s and plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Ohio State allege that nothing was done. Strauss killed himself in 2005 and OSU has paid out over $60 million in lawsuits by former student-athletes so far.
The university had taken the case to the Supreme Court, hoping they would hear the case and prevent future lawsuits from Strauss’ alleged behavior.
