Institutional sexual abuse seems ro have been rampant in the 70s and 80s. Not only of obviously vulnerable people, but even football players who are presumably physically big.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/17/sports/ohio-state-sexual-abuse.html

"Ohio State said Friday that an investigation had confirmed — in voluminous details gleaned from hundreds of interviews — that a team doctor had sexually abused at least 177 men, including many varsity athletes, while working for the university in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.

"The university also revealed that dozens of Ohio State officials, including more than 50 athletic department staff members, were aware of the doctor’s actions during his nearly two-decade tenure yet did not act to stop them..."

I don't wish to go into too much detail, but the assaults which took place involved medical examinations, and included wrestlers and football players. Numerous complaints were made against the assailant but the university took no action. In one case, he was assaulted himself in retaliation and the university heard about this.

The assailant killed himself some years ago and was never disciplined I believe.

Maybe they liked it?

At least one of them DID! The university heard about it and kept him in a job.

Given there were 177 victims, I can't imagine he was the only one to complain.

That's an unfortunate turn of phrase formerly used for female victims of aex crimes and still used for male ones.
