News anchor says he was a victim of OSU doctor accused of abusing hundreds

Mike Avery, a morning news anchor in Michigan, delivered some very personal news Thursday that will probably come as a shock to his loyal viewers - he is one of the hundreds of former Ohio State University athletes who say they were sexually abused by former wrestling team doctor Dr. Richard Strauss.

DiSabato and several other former wrestlers accused one of their former coaches, powerful Republican congressman Jim Jordan, of turning a blind eye to what Strauss was doing.

Jordan continues to deny any knowledge of what Strauss was doing and maintains he did not even hear any locker room talk about the abuse.

The Perkins Coie report, however, states that the abuse by Strauss, who died by suicide in 2005, was an open secret.

"Gym Jordan is a scumbag."

That's all I've got right now. I'm sorry. But I am out of words.

I will rest up and try again tomorrow. I promise.
