After years of appeals, depositions are underway in the sexual abuse scandal involving Strauss, a former Ohio State University doctor. It has been seven years since the first lawsuits were filed against the university.

Jordan is set to be deposed on Friday in Washington. Former Ohio State Athletic Director Andy Geiger was deposed on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Neither have been charged with any crimes, but many have questioned what they knew about Strauss’ behavior.

The survivors of Strauss kept quiet for decades, internalizing their trauma, but back in 2018, they started talking.

Hundreds of the survivors of the 20-year-long string of sexual assaults by the Ohio State team doctor still have cases against the university pending in federal court.

Will this be harder to dodge than a Congressional subpoena?

If I had to guess, it'll resemble what most depositions do, which is a lot of "non-answers" and "I don't recall"s

As someone who's had to sit through a few (none for myself, but for my company when there have been some "conflicts"), it's not uncommon for a lawyer to remind the person on the hot seat (ad nauseum) "Now just keep in mind, if you don't remember :wink wink:, then say I don't remember...there's nothing that can prove or disprove whether your remember something"

Which is basically just sneaky lawyer speak for "nobody can technically prove whether or not you remember something, so by saying you don't remember, you're not giving them anything, and you're not subjecting yourself to perjury risks"

But obviously a lawyer can't officially say that directly.

I pray for everyone and anything
Oh a generalized catch-all…I see. That’s nice.
Odd though, how you reacted to the thread about Representative Jorda’s impending deposition with that particular emoji.

I’m a bit lost.

Oh, praying for survivors.

I obviously wasn’t clear.

My bad.
