A district judge had dismissed most of the unsettled cases, agreeing with the university's argument that the legal time limit for the claims had long passed. The plaintiffs argued that the clock didn't start until the allegations came to light in 2018.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A federal appeals court ruling Wednesday revives unsettled lawsuits against Ohio State University over decades-old sexual abuse by the late team doctor Richard Strauss.
"Ohio State is a vast institution, and the plaintiffs' allegations underscore how difficult it is for a student to know what appropriate persons within the Ohio State administration knew" about abuse allegations, Judge Karen Nelson Moore wrote in the decision. Judge Ralph B. Guy Jr. dissented with the decision, writing that the clock on the claims ran out decades ago and that the court's decision"effectively nullifies any statute of limitations for Title IX claims based on sexual harassment."Hundreds of former student-athletes and other alumni say they were abused by Strauss during his two decades at the school, and that Ohio State officials failed to stop him despite knowing about complaints.
