Ohio State University announced the details of settlement reached with over 160 men who say they were sexually abused by Richard Strauss, a long-time athletic team physician at the school.
The $40.9 million settlement was reached with 162 male survivors. It covers 12 lawsuits related to abuse allegedly perpetrated by Strauss, who was employed by the university from 1978 until 1998.
An independent investigation launched by the University found in 2019 that the physician abused students and university administration failed to appropriately respond at the time, the university said in a Friday statement.
The report found that personnel at the university knew what Strauss was doing as early as 1979.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has previously denied allegations that he failed to stop Strauss from sexually abusing student-athletes at the university when he served as a wrestling coach there.
Strauss died by suicide in 2005.
