一名联邦法官命令俄亥俄亿万富翁Les Wexner在对俄亥俄州立大学的诉讼中作证,指控前团队医生Richard Strauss在1970年代至1998年期间虐待数百名学生。 A federal judge has ordered Ohio billionaire Les Wexner to testify in a lawsuit against Ohio State University over allegations that former team doctor Richard Strauss abused hundreds of students from the 1970s to 1998. Michael Watson法官否认Wexner试图阻止传票, 认为原告应该知道他了解斯特劳斯(Strauss)的情况以及何时, 特别是在大学董事会任职期间。 Judge Michael Watson denied Wexner’s bid to block the subpoena, saying plaintiffs deserve to know what he knew about Strauss and when, particularly during his time on the university’s board. 证词可能揭示该大学是否忽视了早期虐待指控,有些指控可追溯到1979年,但没有采取行动。 The testimony may reveal whether the university ignored early abuse claims, some dating to 1979, and failed to act.
