Ohio State Settles Strauss Abuse Case | Columbus News

Ohio State just paid $100 million to 279 survivors of former doctor Richard Strauss, who allegedly abused over 500 students—mostly athletes—over two decades. The university denies direct responsibility but launched an investigation and issued an apology. A special master will determine individual payouts based on harm, a process survivors chose over lengthy court battles. Attorney Richard Groffsky, who’s handled cases against Nassar and Anderson, says proving old abuse is hard—especially with missing records—and institutions must shoulder more responsibility. He hopes this settlement sparks broader accountability and encourages survivors to speak out against silence.
