[quote=Anonymous]I love his last statement.  This is really what it is all about.....It has become a “manhunt on Jordan.”

[quote]All-American wrestler Nick Nutter said he believes that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) did not know about allegations of sexual abuse on the Ohio State University wrestling time when he was an assistant coach there.

Nutter, who wrestled at the school in the 1990s, said Jordan was a “goody two-shoes” and simply wasn’t the type of guy to whom he would bring those type of allegations.

“Jim Jordan was almost intimidatingly a goody two-shoes. I never heard the man cuss. If I was near him, I would never even say the word penis because I would hate for him to judge me and think I’m a sinner and deviant,” Nutter told The Hill in a telephone interview.

“Of all people, he is the guy I would never, ever tell. Because 1. I’m embarrassed and 2. I wouldn’t want him to think I’m a deviant person.”

Nutter also said that one of the initial accusers, Mike DiSabato, has a criminal record and a “vendetta” against both the school and Jordan’s family.

Fourteen other wrestlers went on the record Tuesday to refute claims that Jordan knew or must have known that student athletes were allegedly being abused by team doctor Richard Strauss in the 1980s and 90s.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said on Tuesday that every member of the roughly 30-member House Freedom Caucus — which Meadows chairs — backed Jordan.

Nutter said he decided to come forward with his allegations of abuse, detailing them in an email to the law firm conducting the investigation after DiSabato encouraged former Buckeye wrestlers to come forward with their stories earlier this year.

But now Nutter worries that the focus has shifted to Jordan’s role.

“I was under the assumption we were going to release this, and it was going to be about the inappropriateness of Doctor Strauss, but it’s turned into a manhunt on Jim Jordan,” Nutter said. “This is not what I signed up for.”[/quote]
