New allegations in the Ohio State University sexual abuse scandal are threatening to intensify the political firestorm facing its onetime assistant wrestling coach, powerful GOP Rep. Jim Jordan.

A half-dozen ex-wrestlers told POLITICO they were regularly harassed in their training facility by sexually aggressive men who attended the university or worked there. The voyeurs would masturbate while watching the wrestlers shower or sit in the sauna, or engage in sexual acts in the areas where the athletes trained, the former wrestlers said.

Larkins Hall, the building that housed athletic teams, became such a well-known target that people who frequented it at the time have reminisced in anonymous postings online how easy it was to ogle naked members of the wrestling team.

The situation was so egregious that former wrestling head coach Russ Hellickson would at times have to physically drag the gawkers out of the building, several sources familiar with his actions at the time said. Hellickson also pleaded with the university multiple times to move their athletes to a private facility, the sources said. Jordan served as Hellickson’s No. 2, and the coach has been described as Jordan’s mentor.

1. They're pushing hard to remove Ellison but this smarmy fuck is still here.

Not condoning Ellison if the allegations are true, but the double standard between republicans & democrats is one of the things that grates on me the most. Maybe because it's been a 30+ year thing & never changes.

2. I wonder

A) if Jordan is going to be sued for turning a blind eye.
B) how much this will depress GOP turnout in his district come November.

4. This is what being a ReThug is all about...

Sadistic forms of entertainment and enjoyment generally at the expense of and harm coming to others, not lifting a finger to come to their aid or rescue. The sophomoric approach - giggling, a good belly laugh, then quickly looking the other way - claiming wanting to not get involved even though your job responsibilities demand otherwise.

Total disregard to the higher obligation as coaches and chaperons to protect the younger college athletes when confronted by inappropriate sexual voyeurism, harassment, and fondling by adult predators.

Turn their backs on the duty to fully report, investigate, curtail, and halt this inappropriate behavior forthwith - even though the law stipulates otherwise.
