OHIO STATE SCANDAL--cleanest team doctor in the Land

[Auto Donk]

so, it turns out JJ Gold would have loved to have gone to Ohio State University after all..... Its apparent that a OSU team doc and several other university faculty used the OSU mens' locker room showers as their own personal gay spa for decades....

faculty members, coaches, and the cleanest team doctor in the land, would just come in at their leisure, soap up with the athletes, rub several out in front of them, make moves on any athletes that were game, etc....

team doctor Richard Strauss would grope athletes, inspect their groins, etc., daily....

one report states that he would take up to 8 showers per day at the various men's sports locker rooms, "making the rounds" of all the facilities on campus to get as much m2m action as he could handle.....

who'd have thought that the midwest university was home to a whole clan of jelly watchers/spit roasters.....

there's some weird ass shit goin' on in the midwest.... what the hell is in the water up there?

‘Shocking’: Ohio State doc abused 177, officials were aware

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A now-dead Ohio 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.
Dr. Richard Strauss groped or ogled young men while treating athletes from at least 16 sports and working at the student health center and his off-campus clinic, investigators from a law firm hired by the university found.
“We are so sorry that this happened,” Ohio State President Michael Drake said at a news conference, using words like “shocking,” ″horrifying” and “heartbreaking” to describe the findings.
He said there was a “consistent institutional failure” at Ohio State, the nation’s third-largest university, with nearly 65,000 students and a half-million living alumni. The school “fell short of its responsibility to its students, and that’s regrettable and inexcusable.”
At the same time, Drake, who has led the institution since 2014, sought to distance Ohio State from what happened more than two decades ago: “This is not the university of today.”
The report on Strauss, who killed himself at age 67 in 2005 nearly a decade after he was allowed to retire with honors, could cost Ohio State dearly by corroborating lawsuits brought against it by a multitude of victims.
The findings put Strauss in a league with gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar of Michigan State University, who was accused of molesting at least 250 women and girls and is serving what amounts to a life sentence. Michigan State ultimately settled with his victims for $500 million.
Similarly, the Jerry Sandusky child sexual-abuse scandal that brought down legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in 2011 has cost the university more than a quarter-billion dollars in settlements, fines, legal costs and other expenses.
The abuse at Ohio State went on from 1979 to 1997 and took place at various locations across campus, including examining rooms, locker rooms, showers and saunas, according to investigators. Strauss, among other things, contrived to get young men to strip naked and groped them sexually.
The report describes one patient who came in with strep throat. Strauss spent five minutes fondling his genitals and never examined another part of the body. Another victim had grown up in a rural area and had never had a proper medical exam; Strauss put a stethoscope on his penis.
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. The students described the examinations as being “hazed” or going through a “rite of passage.” Athletes joked about Strauss’ behavior, referring to him with nicknames like “Dr. Jelly Paws.”
The report concluded that scores of Ohio State personnel knew of complaints and concerns about Strauss’ conduct as early as 1979 but failed for years to investigate or take meaningful action.
Ohio State Provost Bruce McPheron said the report does not address whether anyone went to law enforcement at the time or was required to do so under the law back then.
In the wake of the findings, some of Strauss’ victims called on the university to take responsibility for its inaction and the harm inflicted by the doctor.
“Dreams were broken, relationships with loved ones were damaged, and the harm now carries over to our children, as many of us have become so overprotective that it strains the relationship with our kids,” Kent Kilgore said in a statement.
Steve Estey, an attorney for some of the former students who are suing, said: “If OSU refuses to take responsibility we will continue with civil litigation and put this in front of a jury for 12 people to judge their actions.”
No one has publicly defended Strauss, though family members have said they were shocked by the allegations.
At least 50 members of the athletic department staff, including many coaches, corroborated victims’ accounts of Strauss’ abuse, the report said. But students’ allegations never left the department or the health center until 1996.
At that point, Strauss was investigated and let go as a team doctor and physician at the health center but was allowed to retain his tenured faculty position.
Investigators said Strauss set up an off-campus clinic within months, receiving assurances from the associate vice president of health sciences and academic affairs that “there would be no issue” with him engaging in part-time private practice while on the faculty. The abuse continued there.
He continued to plead for his job back as an on-campus doctor, finally going to then-President Gordon Gee with a letter in 1997. His pleas were rejected, at which point Strauss was allowed to retire with emeritus status, a mark of honor. Gee, now president of West Virginia University, said Friday he has no recollection of Strauss.
Former nursing student Brian Garrett said he briefly did administrative work at the off-campus clinic but stopped after witnessing abuse by Strauss and then experiencing it himself.
“I thought all along he hid that from the university,” said Garrett. “Now I find out they actually knew about the off-campus clinic, are you kidding me?” He added: “I’m mad. I thought I was mad before.”
The lawsuits against Ohio State are headed for mediation. They seek unspecified damages. Drake said the investigation alone has cost the school $6.2 million.
Separately, the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is examining whether Ohio State responded promptly and fairly to students’ complaints. The department could cut the university’s federal funding if it is found to have violated civil rights protections.
Before Friday’s release, the doctor’s accusers had alleged that Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan was one of the coaches back then who were aware of suspicions about Strauss and didn’t stop him. Jordan, an assistant wrestling coach from 1987 to 1995, was not mentioned by name in the report, and a spokesman said the document showed the congressman did not know about the abuse.

[capitalist pig]

I don’t get it these are college age men letting another man fondle them, wtf. You’d think just one of the 177 men would have had the guts to smash that guys face in while he fondled them

later

[Grits n' Gravy]

Crazy. Big 10 conference has had 3 major scandals involving staff molesting students/kids. Time to rename the conference Big Ped.

Maybe the lure of being able to play kept them from doing anything about it.

Maybe to them it was like they said, being hazed or some kind rite of passage.

I suppose if they are all going through it together, they can joke it off and cope better, if coping is necessary. They were victims together and that might have been easier on many of them.

Then back to the sport at hand. I don't know, but there must be some kind of explanation. Why some guy didn't stand up sooner and smack the doc upside the head is odd, but maybe it's the authority figure role.

Yeah I don't understand it either. I would have laid the doctor out with one punch to the face if he tried that on me in college. I played college hockey at a fairly big school 12-15 years ago and I don't know anyone who would have allowed it either.

Even in high school I would have effed the doctor up.

Some of the people on here that constantly talk about "blowjobs" would love to have gone there.

Nothing but fake news brought down Joe. We can fight about that until the end of time. But not really cause I'm at the point of just saying retarded \*\*\*\*\*\* abs leaving it there.

Creeps from academia*

Maybe one day you'll understand

What team sports are you trying to play here? Happens everywhere, big schools get the headlines and all you read/remember.

[reigle9]

Crazy. Big 10 conference has had 3 major scandals involving staff molesting students/kids. Time to rename the conference Big Ped.

Or time to investigate what is really happening instead of jumping to the most brain dead response as quickly as possible.

Idk about the other cases, but eventually, at some point, probably after everyone is dead, the second mile will be investigated. Zip to do with psu football other than sandusky being an ex coach. More to do with the scumbag Bot. Joe "cover up" is equally as retarded as the russian hoax just cause it doesn't get anymore retarded.

[HurryUpAndDrink]

LOL Reigles knows about abuse and he can tell if a victim is telling the truth or not, rednecks have an incorporated radar for these things!

My hypothesis is similar to what was mentioned by KVB; they didn't say anything out of fear that he was untouchable (and would be the one believed if asked to explain a confrontation and would make up a story about being attacked unprovoked). If they did deck him out, goodbye scholarship and spot on the team because "[you] flew off the handle (for whatever reason he comes up with) and we can't have a loose cannon on the team attacking staff members."

That statement makes 0 sense at all. Just complete nonsense. You're so far away from reality on this I'm not even going to accept another reply.

LMAO, please. None of your posts here make sense either, I was trying to mimic you, did it work? You know how annoying it is to hear some ignorant dude from Bumfuck Ohio do some Corn Flakes psychoanalysis on the victims and disregard them as frauds? (and without reading at least 10mins on the subject).

I like ya, politically we ain't much different, liberal cucks are wrong on most things nowadays but watching a man defend some rapist just cause the victims were men, gimme a fukkin break bro.


You have no clue what you are talking about here Willis. Stick to your standup comedy act here, leave the intelectual talk to us intelectuals.

[reigle9]

Not doing it

Give it 10 years

[reigle9]

Actually just give it until my goddamn comp gets here for me to explain to you why you're dumb and getting mad at something that's not there.

But I'm not typing it on my phone.

Gd thing was a mile away at 6am Fri but won't get it until Monday now.

Just assume if you're fighting with me, you're young and dumb, and I understand everything. Capiche.

[reigle9]

JFC nice touch on the stupid calling me a redneck though


Kinda like when Chico calls me stupid

Fukkin internet

[HurryUpAndDrink]

You sound irked man...

You know you are SBR's fave redneck

Just accept it and enjoy... (that's what Joe Patterno said)

I have 2 super strong picks for tomorrow, Brewers and Torino Over.

Yeah NHL not my sport, it was a fluke and it leveled in the end, still finished +20u or so...

Did you cash in that one? I saw you top 5 at some point but as I lost ground I stopped paying attention

[reigle9]

You'll obviously play it off now, but between your stone cold stupidity, headline reading, and just plain not caring about reality, at least 60% of people that hate Joe have confused him with sandusky.
30% didn't bother to read the Steele dossier, I mean the freeh hoax where he literally interviewed 0 people involved, and where you got your headline thoughts from

For thinking you're such a sharp insider, you sure did miss this one. Freeh was the lead of the richard jewell hoax. He also killed someone in a traffic wreck cause he's a junkie. His list of nonsense goes on. Have at it.

Or fight with me and call me a redneck, unreal.

[HurryUpAndDrink]

Ok, redneckie
