Ohio State to Pay $41M to Settle Abuse Lawsuits

Jason Scott Headshot

The Ohio State University is reportedly set to pay out nearly $41 million to settle a series of lawsuits brought by victims of deceased former team doctor Richard Strauss.

The Associated Press reports that the settlement relates to 162 of about 350 former athletes who have stepped forward to sue the school for its failure to stop Strauss, who had been a source of concern during his tenure at the school. A law firm hired to investigate the claims made against Strauss found that he had sexually abused young men between the years of 1979 and 1997 on campus athletic facilities, as well as in the student health center, his off-campus clinic and his home. Strauss died in 2005.
