Truly awful
What's being called one of the greatest sex abuse scandals in American history continues to unfold at Ohio State University.
A civil lawsuit filed in federal court alleges Dr. Richard Strauss abused students and student athletes beginning in 1978 -- Strauss' first year at OSU -- and spanned his entire two-decade tenure
At least 177 male students were sexually abused, according to an investigative report released Friday.
Attorneys representing approximately 60 victims claim the real number is between 1,500 and 2,500.
"This is one of the biggest sex abuse scandals in U.S. history, yet the report only scratches the surface," said Ilann Maazel, attorney, Emery Celli Brinckerhoff and Abady LLP. "How many hundreds or thousands of OSU students did Dr. Strauss abuse? What are the names of all the OSU coaches, trainers and administrators who knew about the abuse and did nothing? What will OSU do to make these survivors whole? It's time for a full reckoning at this university."
