A 41-year-old Ohio massage therapist targeted several Ohio State football players as part of a scheme to initiate sexual encounters, the university revealed Thursday.
An independent investigation commissioned by the university in March found that no school or athletic department staff knew that the 41-year-old therapist had targeted players for sexual acts.
In March, the university learned that the State Medical Board of Ohio revoked the therapist's license. The therapist had allegedly “engaged in inappropriate and exploitative behavior" toward members of the team. Ohio State hired the law firm Barnes & Thornburg to conduct an investigation.
