He didn't want publicity and probably thought he could talk to the doctor and he would stop. They think they lose either way so try to avoid the bad publicity.

Proven over and over, as long as it's a white male doing the raping, they are 100% for it or at least for not punishing the white guy because the other person (young male or young woman) is lying and even if they aren't, the rich white male needs to be unpunished. This is why some repug states have given rapists parental rights for a product of a crime, letting them have the right to pick up the child at the victims HOUSE!!! This is still so unbelievably vile and disgustingly wrong to me. The party of Lincoln protects and promotes rapist and has put one in the highest office. SMG with grief for our country.

Did Trump and other GOP members attend some of these voyeuristic orgies? I know Ohio was not Trump neck of the woods .. but you never know. Jordan may have been charging admission fees to the pervs. Sort of like a sideshow hustle. For profit voyeurism. I would not be surprised if there were child victims also. This will be the next shoe to drop. I believe this and the missing migrant children issue will bring down the GOP.

I wouldn't be shocked if there's more to it than that.

Either way, he should have resigned already. If he was a Democrat, he'd already be gone.

The doctor was probably providing steroids to Jordan and his wrestlers. Jordan has proved that he will lie,cheat and bully at every turn to get what he wants. If the steroids gave OSU a competitive advantage and made the team and Jordan look like winners I believe he would have been all-in.

The doctor probably had them over a barrel. I don't blow the whistle on you and you don't blow the whistle on me. He must have had leverage on them or else he would have been let go immediately.
