YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY), A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS ORDERED THAT OHIO BILLIONAIRE LES WEXNER MUST SIT FOR A DEPOSITION IN THE RICHARD STRAUSS SEXUAL ABUSE CASE INVOLVING THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY.
JUDGE MICHAEL WATSON OF THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO IN COLUMBUS DENIED A MOTION BY LES WEXNER'S ATTORNEYS TO QUASH A SUBPOENA THAT WAS FILED LAST MONTH. ON WEDNESDAY, THE JUDGE ORDERED THAT WEXNER MUST COMPLY. ATTORNEYS FOR THE PLANTIFFS IN THE RICHARD STRAUSS SEXUAL ABUSE CASE ARGUED THAT BECAUSE WEXNER SERVED AS A BOARD MEMBER AT THE UNIVERSITY WHERE STRAUSS WORKED AND IS ONE THE OHIO STATE'S BIGGEST DONORS AND MAY HAVE INTERACTED WITH STRAUSS AND THE VICTIMS, HIS TESTIMONY IS CRITICAL.
