A professional referee says in a lawsuit filed Thursday that disgraced doctor Richard Strauss masturbated in front of him in a shower after a wrestling match at Ohio State University, and he reported the encounter directly to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who was then the assistant coach.
“Yeah, that’s Strauss,” Jordan and then-head coach Russ Hellickson replied, according to the lawsuit, when the referee, identified in court papers as John Doe 42, told them about the incident. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Ohio, implies that Jordan's response to the incident, which the referee said happened in 1994, was essentially a shrug.

What is it with former wrestling coaches who became Congressmen from the midwest? Sex abuse seems like part of process.
If that is the case, that is disgraceful and he should not have ignored the abuse.
Interesting. 1994?

It was a different time back then.
Does it ever seem odd to anyone that these revelations only come out when someone democrats hate kick up some dust? They are always decades old and really only based on one persons say so with no other witness that can confirm the specific claims.

i wonder which side that God Fearing Republicans will take on this testimony. It did affect young people that they've always preached that need to be protected from bad people.

However, I must ask, what power did Jordan have in this matter? Did the students who confided in him expect him to report it and he then did nothing? Or did they simply tell him this, getting it off their chest, but without expectation that anything be done to save them from further humiliation?

You must have missed the news about the media protecting Democrats by spiking the Epstein and Weinstein stories.
It doesn't really matter if the Democrats pushed or even threatened the referee to testify. It is true. That's the problem.
jim jordan is a thorn in the side of leftist and calling them out for what they are doing so as usual they go to leftist tactic 101.
only thing we can do is just dismiss these people folks they are no longer worth listening too.
What the Left doesn’t want you to know about Jim Jordan’s accusers

“I am very distressed to hear that Mike DiSabato’s displaced personal vendetta has led to hostility filled accusations that Jim Jordan turned a blind eye to ANYTHING, let alone sexual abuse,” the emailed statement from Karen Mendoza also reads. “Long before Jimmy was a public servant, he lived the example of a man that Ray wanted to grow into with his own family.”
George Pardos, a wrestler during Jordan’s coaching tenure turned Marine Corps veteran, says that the allegations are bunk.
“For Jimmy to know that this was going on and not do anything about it, it wouldn’t happen. It’s completely out of character,” Pardos told The Hill. “I’ve had dinner at his house, worked out with him. This didn’t happen.”
Pardos also accused his former teammates of trying to line their pockets through sexual abuse allegations following the $500 million settlement that Michigan State University struck with hundreds of victims of gymnastics coach Larry Nassar earlier this year.
“After Larry Nassar, everyone is seeing dollar signs,” Pardos said. This is important to keep in mind, since the two named accusers have a clear history of financial problems.
If the allegations against Jordan seem suspicious, it’s not hard to see why. Jordan’s accusers do not have credible records of honest dealing. The investigation into Strauss’ abuse ought to continue uninhibited, and Jordan has a responsibility to help the investigators in any way he can. But Jordan’s accusers, especially those with a history of defrauding others for personal gain, ought not to be uncritically believed before the congressman has had a fair hearing.
