Ohio State settles for $100M in decades-old sexual abuse case

Hundreds of former student athletes experienced sexual abuse by Dr. Strauss over two decades, with institutional failures enabling the abuse to continue unchecked.

Over two decades, hundreds of young men placed their trust in an institution and a physician, only to have that trust systematically betrayed. Ohio State University has now agreed to pay approximately $100 million to 280 remaining survivors of abuse committed by Dr. Richard Strauss between 1978 and 1998, bringing the university's total settlements to more than $161 million. The money arrives long after the harm, and long after the institution knew — a pattern that raises enduring questions about how power protects itself at the expense of the vulnerable.
