THE Ohio State University

A 41-year-old woman solicited Ohio State football players and engaged in sex with some of them after offering massages, the university revealed in a report issued Thursday afternoon.



The northeast Ohio woman, whose name was redacted in the 15-page report, is a licensed massage therapist.


The law firm interviewed 117 current and former players and 44 current and former coaches and staff members to determine whether a crime or NCAA violations were committed. Ohio State said that neither occurred.



Of the players, 83 had no knowledge or interaction with the massage therapist. Twenty received non-sexual massages, and five had consensual sex with her. None were minors.



None of the coaches or staff matters had any knowledge of the massage therapist, the report said.
