The attorneys at Wright & Schulte are representing Ohio State Athletes sexually abused or harassed by Dr. Richard Strauss. Over his 20 years at OSU, Dr. Strauss committed a reported 177 acts of sexual abuse and harassment. Over these years, the administration knew what was happening and “failed to investigate or act meaningfully.”
