Adam DiSabato, a champion wrestler at OSU told members of the Ohio House Civil Justice Committee that Jim Jordan was in tears when he called on July 4, 2018, a day after NBC News ran the story of Jordan turning a blind eye to sexual abuse of male wrestlers by the team doctor
In 2018 Jim Jordan admitted "locker room" conversations took place.
What did he mean?
Jim Jordan was an adult paid by the University with tax dollars.
This boy's family didn't spend college money for him to be away from home for the 1st time & be subjected to grown men sexually harassing him while paid adult coaches giggled about it
“There’s no way unless he’s got dementia or something that he’s got no recollection of what was going on at Ohio State - I have nothing but respect for this man ... but he knew as far as I’m concerned.” -
UFC legend Mark Coleman on Jim Jordan

From Dayton Daily News: Congressman @Jim_Jordan knew about sex abuse, former wrestlers say.
There is a 12 min video where 3 victims & former head coach Russ Hellickson describe the abuse. Hellickson says he talked to Strauss about showering w students

Hellickson, who served as head coach from 1986 to 2006, said in the video that “Certainly, all of my administrators recognized that it was an issue for me. I’m sure that I talked to all of them on numerous occasions about my discontent w the environment"
Head Coach Hellickson, @jim_Jordan's mentor, describing OSU:
“I caught people having sex in our wrestling room, in the stairwell ... the bathroom ... I caught people in masturbation ... It became a real problem because it affected their mental state"
Russ Hellickson was the Ohio State head wrestling coach at the time. He was a mentor to @Jim_Jordan
Here he is with Dennis Hastert
The longest serving GOP Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, raped children as a wrestling coach. There was no FoxNews / GOP outrage like their 24/7 Weinstein show, instead Republicans rushed to defend him.
There's a sickness in the @gop

The Jim Jordan sex-abuse scandal is very real. Jordan has belittled & lied about former students & friends.
More than 100 former @OhioState students have come forward because of sexual abuse

Before he was an assistant coach at Ohio State, Jim Jordan wrestled at University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Here is Jordan wrestling, wearing the red singlet
Jim Jordan & the OSU team
The members of the team say Jim Jordon is lying
They say he knew about the sexual abuse
Adam DiSabato told lawmakers Jordan was "crying" and "groveling" when he called, "begging me to go against my brother" and lie to coverup ... Jordan knew
This guy, Republican legislator, Wes Goodman was married and worked for Jim Jordan in DC.
Wes spent his time sexually harassing ... you guessed it ... young men.
Why is Jim Jordan always so close to male sexual predators who abuse young men?
