Four former wrestlers at Ohio State were sexually abused by Dr. Richard Strauss and Congressman Jim Jordan, who served as an assistant wrestling coach, was aware and even covered up the abuse. According to at least three former wrestlers, Strauss, who served as the team’s doctor from the mid-1970s to the late 90s, regularly forced wrestlers to take showers with him and touched them inappropriately during checkups.

The university concluded last year that Strauss “sexually abused at least 177 male student-patients” between 1979 and 1998. The doctor died by suicide in 2005, reports CNN. Jordan has continued to deny any involvement or knowledge about Strauss’ abuse during his years working at OSU. However, survivor Tito Vazquez says these claims couldn’t be further from the truth. Sign this petition to hold both Strauss and Jordan responsible.
