'Surviving Ohio State' Doc Premieres Soon: Here's Where the Strauss Sex Abuse Cases Stand
- HBO will premiere the documentary Surviving Ohio State on June 17, 2025, revealing decades of abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State University.
- The documentary follows the 2018 exposure of Strauss' sexual abuse, which went unchecked from 1978 to 1998 due to institutional failures and silence.
- Survivors, including former All-American wrestlers, share their stories as the film explores the culture that allowed abuse and the ongoing legal battles.
- Ohio State University agreed to settlements totaling over $60 million with 296 individuals who were victims of Strauss' abuse, and in 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the university's appeal concerning these lawsuits.
- The documentary aims to amplify survivor voices nationally, shedding light on systemic issues and the continued fight for accountability at Ohio State.
