Yetts is a two time felon convicted of fraud, who owes $1.8 million to his victims. DiSabato just lost his contract to provide wrestling uniforms to tOSU. Both have financial motives to make fraudulent claims & a history of fraudulent behavior.
The key passage in the article you linked....
"DiSabato, 50, said he was moved to tell Ohio State of Strauss' actions after hearing accounts last year of gymnasts sexually abused by sports doctor Larry Nassar."
Michigan St just settled a case of real sexual abuse by a team doctor for $500 million dollars. Coincidence? I'm sure Perkins Coie will be happy to represent them in their suits against tOSU.
If something illegal happened, you go to the police, not the coach.
Coachs aren't guardian angels that you go running to, when someone touches your bottom. They're just coaches.
Not necessarily true. College athletes are taught any problems team related stay in the locker-room and gets reported to the coaching staff. The coaches take it from there. Trust me on that. I am a former D1 Baseball Coach.
As far as legalities, we do not know the extent of the inappropriate touching. I do not believe all forms of in-appropriate touching are necessarily illegal, but it still does not make it right. That of course assuming things did happen.
Rosenstein did warn him that if he kept pressing things he might end up being investigated himself. These guys have, or have the means to obtain, dirt on anyone and everyone when needed. That's why you're not supposed to mess with them and it's why the rules don't usually apply to them. Jordan just found out that's not just an urban legend.
The Ohio State investigation on this issue started in April, well before the hearing last week. An on-going process on their part.
Jordan seems to have a bad habit of supporting despicable people. More wrestlers have come forth confirming that Jordan knew of the abuse but did nothing. Jordan is the ultimate enabler. It is time for him to go.
Nice try.
Not one of these people says that they REPORTED inappropriate behavior to Jordan or Russ Hellickson, and Hellickson, being the head coach, is the one who would have gone to the administration.
In the absence of someone actually making a formal complaint the talk was rumor and gossip.

Dennis Hastert was an abuser, just like Gerry Studds was. Conflating an abuser with someone who is not, might be actionable as slander or libel.

A 50 year old man couldn't rape or molest a Div 1 collegiate wrestler.

No one says he "saw the event". No one even says "I made a complaint to him". They've said "he knew" without having a clue as to what he did or did not know to be a fact.

Quick, name the assistant coach for the other 13 teams at Ohio State University that allegedly had athletes "abused". Oh wait you can't? Why is that?

These aren't scandals that just go away.
It is no news. Sandusky and Nassar were abusers. Jordan isn't and no one says he is (except whacked lefties on CD).

No Jordan says he didn't know.
How is it that male athletes from 13 other sports at OSU now say they too were "victims"? Not one reported it at the time? Not one called the police? It's been close to 30 years and the allegations are coming out NOW about a DEAD guy who can't refute the allegations, and it all comes out after MSU ponies up a HALF BILLION dollars to pay off from Nassar?
I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

A) the proper recourse is call the police
B) a college wrestler who kicked the ass of a staff member after the staff member assaulted him would have an affirmative defense, assuming it got so far as to need a defense. I can't imagine a DA filing on a victim of sexual assault.

Any member of the coaching staff, who knew, could go to the administration.
Jordan enabled the actions by not reporting them.
Jordan needs to resign. The GOP needs to force him out if he will not.
This makes the Weiner issue look like nothing. To the point that Weiner should run again, all he did was send pictures to little girls.
Anyone supporting Jordan needs to see experience pedophilia first hand.
