Rep. Jim Jordan is facing accusations of ignoring sexual abuse while he was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University.

Former university wrestlers alleged the Ohio Republican failed the stop the abuse at the hands of team doctor Dr. Richard Strauss, according to an NBC News report.

Jordan has denied knowing about the abuse.

Allegations from former wrestler Mike DiSabato prompted an investigation by the university into Strauss, who died in 2005.

DiSabato said Jordan was a “liar” for saying he did not know about abuse and said the congressman asked him to “please leave me out of it” when DiSabato told him he wanted to go public with his allegations last year.
