Adam DiSabato, a former captain of the Ohio State wrestling team during the late 80s and early 90s, told state lawmakers that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and other team officials “knew about open-shower team facilities that facilitated sexual harassment and abuse of team wrestlers, an allegation Jordan has denied,” the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
“He also said Jordan called him repeatedly in July 2018, after media outlets quoted his brother, Michael DiSabato, saying Strauss’ abuse was common knowledge to those surrounding the wrestling program, including Jordan.”
Said DiSabato: “Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling… begging me to go against my brother…That’s the kind of cover-up that’s going on there.”
