   Former player alleges current Grand Terrace Athletic Director   
   Tiffany Gordon began sexually abusing him shortly after her   
   father, Harold Strauss, was hired in 2000   
      
   Near the end of the 2000 football season, a Colton High School   
   freshman team coach approached one of the varsity’s standout   
   players in the school’s football facility.   
      
   “Is it true?” the coach asked, according to the player.   
      
   “What?” the player responded.   
      
   “Is it true you’re doing Coach’s daughter?” the coach answered,   
   using a slang term for sexual intercourse, the player said.   
      
   “Yep,” the player said.   
      
   “And he was like ‘Damn!’ and walked away laughing,” the player   
   recalled.   
      
   The coach the assistant was referring to was Colton varsity head   
   coach Harold Strauss, then in his first season of a career that   
   would make him a revered figure in the community as the   
   architect of what has been described as Colton’s pipeline to the   
   National Football League.   
      
   His daughter is Tiffany Gordon, then Colton’s athletic trainer   
   and currently the athletic director at Grand Terrace High School   
   in the Colton Joint Unified School District.   
      
   The player is the first known alleged victim who Gordon sexually   
   assaulted, abused and molested with the knowledge of Harold   
   Strauss and other Yellowjacket coaches between 2000 and 2007,   
   according to court filings obtained by the Southern California   
   News Group.   
      
   In a series of interviews with SCNG and in court documents, 10   
   former Colton players allege that Gordon had sexual intercourse   
   with and performed oral sex on players who were between the ages   
   of 14 and 17 in the school’s locker room, training room,   
   bathrooms, weight room and football trailer as well as at her   
   parents’ house during weekly meetings between the coaches and   
   top players. One player alleged in an interview and the lawsuit   
   that Gordon had sex with him at least 50 times during his senior   
   year at Colton High, when he was 17.   
      
   In a lawsuit filed against Gordon and the CJUSD in San   
   Bernardino Superior Court on Friday and in an interview with   
   SCNG, the former player, identified as John Doe 7079 in court   
   filings, said he was sexually assaulted shortly after Strauss   
   and Gordon arrived on the Colton campus prior to the 2000   
   season. This began a three-month period in which Gordon   
   continued to sexually assault the player, then 17, at “Captains’   
   Dinners” for team leaders at Harold Strauss’ home, on a football-   
   related trip and in Gordon’s car while it was parked on the   
   Colton campus and other sites around Colton and Grand Terrace.   
      
   “What happened at Colton is simply inexcusable,” said Jemma E.   
   Dunn, an attorney for the former players. “The sheer number of   
   people who have come forward about Tiffany Gordon’s rampant   
   sexual misconduct demonstrates a systemic issue within the   
   football program and at the District.”   
      
   In an interview this week, John Doe 7079 was asked if he   
   struggled coming forward.   
      
   “Absolutely,” he said. “I don’t want to do this. I feel like I’m   
   the beginning. And the timeline of what I’ve seen of what   
   happened is horrifying and disgusting and it started with me.   
   And I’m a little afraid of, I think people are going to know   
   exactly who this is, but I live far away from there but I feel   
   like it needs to be said. This happened the moment she stepped   
   on campus and was only allowed to keep going and building and   
   get worse and then was promoted and who knows? And kind of   
   horrifying there’s probably more. Like we don’t know.”   
      
   He said he has never discussed Gordon’s alleged abuse with his   
   family – “My parents to this day still don’t know or won’t talk   
   about it” – but said he is coming forward in part to try to   
   change a pervasive attitude in sports culture where sexual   
   relations between older female coaches, trainers or teacher and   
   younger male players and students are often not seen as sexual   
   abuse but a rite of passage or source of pride for the boys. As   
   a result, the survivors are frequently viewed as heroes instead   
   of victims.
