An overall of 6 former college wrestlers have now implicated Donald Trump defender Rep. Jim Jordan ( R-Ohio) of understanding about sexual abuse by the team medical professional when he was an assistant coach at Ohio State University, CNN reports
The 6 informed CNN they were present when Jordan either heard or responded to sexual misbehavior grievances about university physician Richard Strauss Eight others informed the network that the physician’s conduct was an open secret in the university’s athletic department which Jordan couldn’t have not known.
Jordan has repeatedly rejected knowing anything about sexual abuse of his athletes when he was assistant coach from1987 to 1995.
The university specified in its annual criminal activity report in 2015 that Strauss dedicated at least 1,429 sexual attacks and 47 rapes throughout his 20- year tenure. Strauss was never charged and passed away by suicide in 2005.
Former OSU wrestler Tito Vazquez, now a public school teacher, informed CNN: ” When these complaints come and he [Jordan] pretends now that he had no knowledge of it, that’s betrayal in the greatest level” Vazquez said that Jordan’s duplicated denials that he understood about the sexual assault convinced him to come forward. He said when he complained to Jordan, he stated: “I have absolutely nothing to do with this.”
One-time fumbling captain Adam DiSabato warned last month that things would ” become worse” for Jordan as others would come forward to implicate him of not doing anything when he knew of the misconduct.
DiSabato said on MSNBC last month that Jordan called him consistently to plead with him to contradict DiSabato’s own bro’s account in 2018 that he told Jordan of sexual assault Not just did the behavior affect his sibling, but the sexual abuse was “outright knowledge
