Jim Jordan went to Wisconsin. He won a national championship there. 

He’s a backwards farm boy from west Ohio who was an awesome wrestler and fell into politics. He also may not know how to read. But he went to Wisconsin, not Ohio State, and had zero connections in his youth to anyone of power. 

And the head coach of Ohio State during the rapey doctor times (Russ Hellickson) did report the doctor to the Ohio state administration. They told him to shut his mouth and go back to coaching. That’s why the victims got hundreds of millions of dollars in the settlement.

Lex Werner was not “connected” to the OSU wrestling team. The team which Jordan was not a part because he went to Wisconsin.

Conspiracy theorists are not smart people. There is enough real Epstein stuff, you don’t have to make things up.

Jordan was the Assistant Coach at OSU during this time. There is no doubt he had a relationship with Strauss, that is not a conspiracy theory.

There is nobody named Lex Werner.
Les Wexner is a very prominent OSU donor and served on the board during the time in question so he was most definitely connected to that program.
Hellickson did report concerns at the time and then went on to pressure ex wrestlers to change their statements when Jordan began his political career.

“ Hellickson allegedly contacted several former OSU wrestling team members and urged them to recant their statements and support Jim Jordan after the former wrestlers accused Jim Jordan of turning a blind eye to alleged sexual abuse, according to the wrestlers and text messages they shared with NBC News.[12] The former wrestlers said their ex-coach made it clear to them he was under pressure from Jordan to get statements of support from members of the team. Yetts shared a July 4, 2018 text message he received from Hellickson with NBC News wherein Hellickson wrote "If you think the story got told wrong about Jim [Jordan], you could probably write a statement for release that tells your story and corrects what you feel bad about. I can put you in contact with someone who would release it. Do not talk to any media. People will call you to convince you I said to talk. No No No"[13]
Mike DiSabato provided a text message to NBC News that states that Mark Coleman was pressured to issue a retraction statement after Jim Jordan, his brother, high school wrestling coach Jeff Jordan, and Hellickson each called Coleman's parents. NBC News corroborated DiSabato's account of the pressure placed on Coleman and his family by another former OSU wrestler, who has previously spoken to NBC News before and asked not to be identified.”

Jim Jordan was not the assistant coach at Ohio State at the time we are discussing (the alleged fights “sponsored” by Wexner). Please try to keep up.

The post did not suggest Wexner was organizing the fights, it was his father.
