in Grand Rapids since 2010 and was a star lacrosse player for OSU from 1988 to 1991, made the painful admission during an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Gabe Gutierrez.
Avery is the most high-profile former OSU athlete to sue the university, which in May released a damning report compiled by the Perkins Coie law firm concluding that coaches and athletic administrators knew for two decades that Strauss was molesting male athletes but“It’s something I won’t forget,” Avery said, as he recounted Strauss’ examination of his groin during a sophomore year physical, saying it felt like it went on forever.
So his first reaction was anger when the results of the Perkins Coie investigation were finally released. Nick Nutter, who wrestled for OSU from 1992 to 1997, said he too had been groped repeatedly by Strauss during physicals. “I would have a cauliflower ear and he would say pull your pants down,” he said.So Nutter said he tried to avoid spending any time alone with Strauss. But when he came down with poison ivy that spread to his genitals, he was so desperate for relief he agreed to come to the doctor’s house.
