A New Docuseries Examines the Scandal and Allegations of Abuse and Cover-up at Ohio State University2/26/2021  A first of its kind docuseries that will extensively examine the decades-long scandal uncovered in the Sports Illustrated digital cover story by Jon Wertheim. Some of you may remember Wertheim's groundbreaking digital cover story detailing prolific alleged abuse at Ohio State University (OSU). This series, produced by Smokehouse Pictures and Sports Illustrated Studios will detail the scandal that lasted three decades and left many questioning how this victimization went largely unreported. Sports Illustrated executive editor and senior writer Jon Wertheim - one of the most accomplished sports journalists in America - broke the story on the October 5, 2020 digital cover: Why Aren't More People Talking About the Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal? The in-depth expose revealed the extent of Ohio State's sports doctor Richard Strauss' alleged sexual assaults and manipulation of over 350 (reported) student athletes. Jon Wertheim explained: "This article uncovers the most widespread sexual abuse scandal in the history of American higher education. It is a story about power, abuse, enabling and the hierarchy of college sports that had been concealed for far too long. Because these courageous men made the decision to remain silent no longer, we can finally begin to hold the abuser, and those who were complicit in their silence, accountable for their actions - and inactions. With the help of 101 Studios, Authentic Brands Group and Smokehouse Pictures, their voices and stories---harrowing as they are-will be amplified." For the first time ever - UFC Heavyweight Champion and OSU alum Mark Coleman provided Wertheim with his detailed account and disclosed Strauss' administration of anabolic steroids. In addition, Coleman (among others) has alleged that Congressman Jim Jordan knowingly ignored Strauss' alleged abuse to the athletes as he served as the OSU Assistant Wrestling Coach from 1986-1994. No one believed that the alphas of campus, the star wrestlers and NFL-bound football players, could be sexually abused by a man. Even after the school identified merit behind Strauss' alleged abuse claims, he was simply and quietly let go. No formal reports were ever filed, and he remained on the university's payroll as a tenured professor. Strauss' behavior continued unchecked when he was able to open a private men's clinic in Columbus, just down the street from campus. He continued to operate this clinic until his death by suicide in 2005. George Clooney and Grant Heslov from Smokehouse Pictures emphasized: "We're very pleased to partner with 101 Studios and Sports Illustrated in bringing this devastating and tragic story to light." Strauss' hundreds of victims continue to seek justice. Only 162 have reached a settlement of $250,000 each and there are over 250 claims still pending. George Clooney and Grant Heslov of Smokehouse Pictures will serve as Executive Producers along with Jon Wertheim; Jamie Salter, Corey Salter, Marc Rosen of Sports Illustrated Studios and David Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari of 101 Studios. Andrew Kramer of Loeb & Loeb negotiated the deal on behalf of Sports Illustrated Studios. by IC mag Editors
