Do all Republicans with sex scandles get an automatic step-up to leadership? As the Ohio State team doctor and sports medicine researcher. Dr. Richard Strauss is accused of sexually abusing at least 177 men over an 18-year period from 1979 to 1997 -- nearly his entire time at Ohio State. Republican House Leader in Jim Jordan, who was an assistant coach on the team from 1986 to 1994, came under fire in 2018 when several former OSU wrestlers took their allegations against Strauss to the media and claimed Jordan was aware of Strauss' inappropriate behavior and failed to report it.
