The university has conceded this happened why can’t you?
Ohio State held a hearing on the allegations against Strauss in 1997, according to the complaint, and he was allegedly allowed to “quietly retire,” without facing disciplinary action.
In a statement Tuesday, Ohio State confirmed that its investigative team had received reports of sexual misconduct by Strauss from former health service patients and male student athletes in 14 sports.
“We are aware of reports that individuals at the university did not respond appropriately during that era,” the university said, adding that the state attorney general’s office had appointed private legal counsel for the school.
“Ohio State remains committed to uncovering what may have happened and what university leaders at the time may have known,” it said.
What defense is that? It’s up to the accuser to make their case, it’s not incumbent on the accused to disprove the accusation; not in this country any way.
Legal responsibilities are usually well-defined and are often points of emphasis in coaching certification programs. State athletic associations, departments of education and other government organizations determine the range of legal responsibilities for a coach. These responsibilities usually are formulated to maintain the safety and well-being of the athletes and to maintain the educational focus of the athletic program. Mandatory child-abuse reporting is a legal responsibility of coaches in many states and is a good example of a coach’s duty that is mandated by a governmental body.
the fact that members of the christian/family values political party who doesn’t even have a baseline of adultery and fondling underage girls for it’s representatives proves what i’ve said for decades. christian/family values was just an ad to get votes. they don’t really believe it.
We’re up to 11 or so wrestlers (some of them current and former friends of Jordans) claiming that Jordan either knew or must have known, including a former UFC champion. Jordans apologists only managed to dig up dirt on a couple of them so far.
Oh, and the head coach has admitted on tape that the faculty knew, and Jordan is no longer denying having heard of the abuse, just that there were no “official” reports made to him.
