A now-deceased Ohio State University doctor has been the subject of over 100 students who report sexual assault allegations against him.

AP News reports that as a result of an ongoing investigation into Dr. Richard Strauss, over 200 students and university staff have been interviewed. Of those interviewed, 100 student have decided to report sexual assault allegations against the doctor. They have each provided a firsthand account of sexual misconduct at the hands of the doctor who committed suicide in 2005.

Most of those students who report sexual assault allegations against Dr. Strauss are male and claim the the sexual assault came between the years 1979 to 1997, when the doctor worked for university sports programs, the university health office and at an off-campus practice.

The individuals who report sexual assault allegations against Dr. Strass claim he touched their genitals unnecessarily or groped them during exams.

The Ohio State University president Michael Drake told AP News, “We are grateful to those who have come forward and remain deeply concerned for anyone who may have been affected by Dr. Strauss’ actions. We remain steadfastly committed to uncovering the truth.”

The university, in conjunction with a Seattle-based law firm, is urging anyone else who has not come forward to consider coming forward at this time. The investigators are also looking into what the university knew or did not know and whether or not Dr. Strauss had access to examining high school students.

Allegedly, students began raising concerns as far back as the late 1970s. Among the interviewed individuals was Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan who was an assistant wrestling coach from 1987 to 1995. He denies knowing about any such conduct. The head wrestling coach at the time, Russ Hellickson, says the same thing and that if he had been aware of any such conduct, it would have been reported.

Only one documented complaint was lodged against Dr. Strauss occurring in 1995 by a student who claimed that Dr. Strauss touched him inappropriately during an exam at the student health center.

If a university like Ohio State University can be shown to have known about inappropriate conduct yet did not do anything about it, those who report sexual assault may have legal recourse against the university or other organization.

Dr. Strauss is not the only medical professional with access to young people in recent months against whom patients report sexual assault.

Dr. Larry Nassar, connected with both USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University was convicted of the sexual assault of hundreds of young girls and women. In this case, girls who came forward to report sexual assault helped pave the way for the large $500 million settlement that covers both women who have come forward already and those who have yet to report sexual assault at the hands of Larry Nassar.

Additionally, Dr. George Tyndall, formerly connected with USC has been accused of sexually assaulting women he saw when he was working with the university. Over fifty women have already come forward to report sexual assault by Dr. Tyndall, but it is estimated that there are many more.
