Ohio State To Pay Millions To Settle Abuse Lawsuits

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Ohio State University will pay about $41 million to settle a dozen lawsuits by 162 men alleging decades-old sexual abuse and mistreatment by a team doctor. About 350 former athletes and other men had sued the school for failing to stop the late Richard Strauss despite concerns raised during his tenure. The university first announced a settlement with some of them in March, but the cost wasn’t made public until today.
