- A wrestling referee who accused Rep. Jim Jordan of ignoring sexual abuse allegations while at Ohio State University in the mid-1990s appears to have changed his story about what the Ohio Republican knew about the incident.
- The referee’s allegations, which he made under the name John Doe 42, are part of a class-action lawsuit filed against Ohio State on Nov. 7.
- A referee that the Daily Caller News Foundation has identified as John Doe 42 indicated on social media in 2018 that he did not know whether Jordan and OSU’s head wrestling coach were aware of the sexual abuse.
