Rep. Jim Jordan 'turned a blind eye' to sex abuse allegations, says former OSU wrestler amid House speaker battle_我的网站

一 |     A former Ohio State University student-athlete is speaking out against Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for House speaker, saying Jordan "turned a blind eye" to allegations of abuse against a team doctor during his time as assistant coach for the university's wrestling team.Rocky Ratliff is now an attorney who also represents several other former OSU wrestlers in an ongoing lawsuit against the university."I think the wrestlers that I represent, not one of us, would back him for such a leadership position," Ratliff told ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.He continued, "He's abandoned us for his own selfish reasons when he could have helped us. He's chosen not to. So that is not the good makings of any type of leadership or any type of leader that he would have put up with at Ohio State. It's just not. None of us wrestlers believe he should get that position."A spokesperson for Jordan, R-Ohio, told ABC News, "Chairman Jordan never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had, he would have dealt with it."The allegations of abuse were against Dr. Richard Strauss, an Ohio State team doctor and sports medicine researcher. Strauss is accused of sexually abusing at least 177 men over an 18-year period from 1979 to 1997 -- nearly his entire time at Ohio State, according to an independent report released in 2019.Investigators determined that university officials ignored nearly two decades of accusations of sexual abuse against Strauss, who killed himself in 2006 at age 67, seven years after retiring from the university.The accusations of abuse involved athletes from at least 16 sports including wrestling, hockey and swimming, and included Strauss' work at the student health center and an off-campus clinic that he founded late in his tenure, according to the report.The university removed Strauss as a school physician in 1996 after a flurry of student complaints and reported his actions to the State Medical Board of Ohio. However, the school allowed Strauss to retain his tenured faculty position while he operated an off-campus clinic, where the report says he continued to abuse students.Ohio State University has since admitted that it failed to protect students from Strauss, paying out $60 million in settlements to some 296 victims.Jordan, who was an assistant coach on the team from 1986 to 1994, came under fire in 2018 when several former OSU wrestlers took their allegations against Strauss to the media and claimed Jordan was aware of Strauss' inappropriate behavior and failed to report it. The university then announced it was opening an investigation into the allegations against Strauss.Jordan also denied knowing about the abuse when the allegations first came out in 2018.Jordan is now facing renewed scrutiny amid the ongoing battle for House speaker. After again failing to receive enough GOP support, the congressman and chair of the House Judiciary Committee was defeated a second time after a vote on Wednesday afternoon."We believe very strongly, especially all the wrestlers that were there at the time, that Jim Jordan knew what was going on," Ratliff said on Wednesday.Ratliff continued, "Jordan should come forward and tell the truth about what happened. At least meet with the guys. He's failed to do that -- to hear our side, he's failed. You know, even if you believe what Jim Jordan says, he has never once reached out to any wrestler to say, 'Hey, I missed it. I'm sorry. How are you feeling?'"ABC News' Eric Ortega, Imtiyaz Delawala, Lindsey Griswold, and Andrea Amiel contributed to this report.。    베냐민 네타냐후 이스라엘 총리. (사진=이스라엘 총리실)베냐민 네타냐후 이스라엘 총리가 지난달 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령과의 회담에서 외교 및 군사적 행동, 대이란 봉쇄 강화라는 세 가지 대(對)이란 접근법을 논의했다고 밝혔다. 그는 봉쇄 강화 방안을 미국의 최근 대이란 경제 전쟁과 연관 지으며 이란과의 합의 가능성에는 회의적인 입장을 드러냈다.25일(현지시간) 이스라엘 총리실에 따르면 네타냐후 총리는 전날 예루살렘 행사 연설에서 "몇 주 전 오벌 오피스에서 트럼프 대통령과 세 가지 선택지를 논의했다"고 말했다.첫 번째인 외교적 해법에는 강한 회의를 드러냈다. 그는 "물론 합의할 수는 있다. 좋은 합의라면 반대하지 않는다. 하지만 나는 저 야만인들과 합의를 이룰 수 있을지 의문이다. 단언컨대 합의는 불가능하다"고 목소리를 높였다.두 번째 선택지인 군사적 행동에 대해서는 "우리는 이란이 공격하도록 내버려 두지 않을 것이며 만약 그들이 우리를 공격한다면 그들이 상상했던 것 이상의, 지금까지 겪은 그 어떤 것보다 훨씬 강력한 타격을 입게 될 것"이라고 경고했다.세 번째 선택지는 대이란 포위망 강화였다. 네타냐후 총리는 이를 트럼프 대통령에게 제안하며 "결정은 당신의 몫"이라고 말했다고 전했다. 그러면서 미국이 지난 24일 발표한 새 대이란 제재를 이 압박 전략의 실행 결과로 평가하며 "이란은 물론 그 끔찍한 독재 정권을 돕는 자들에 대한 포위망을 강화한 것"이라고 말했다.이번 제재는 스콧 베선트 미 재무장관이 '경제적 왕따 작전'이라고 칭한 조치로, 디지털 자산·기술·금·항공·해운 분야에서 이란과 거래하는 다른 국가에 2차 제재를 부과하는 내용을 핵심으로 한다.。
