A former California athletic trainer whose father was a
legendary high school football coach is accused of sexually
abusing teen football players dating back more than a decade,
according to a recently filed lawsuit.
A group of ex-Colton High School football stars claim the
alleged sexual abuse by high school trainer Tiffany Strauss-
Gordon persisted even though coaches with the program were
suspicious of her behavior, the lawsuit argues.
An attorney for the six players suing Strauss-Gordon and the
Colton school system told CBS Los Angeles the sexual abuse of
the minors took place all over campus.
“That would include the locker room for the varsity football
players, training rooms, weight rooms, classrooms, bathrooms, in
vans to football-related events and at a few homes,” lawyer
Brian Williams said.
Strauss-Gordon is the daughter of late gridiron coach Harold
Strauss, who had a legendary career leading the Yellowjackets
and is credited with helping multiple high school athletes move
on to professional football. The daughter was a trainer while
her father coached the team.
One time when Strauss-Gordon and a player were inside a locker
room, Coach Strauss entered and interrupted an alleged sexual
assault, the lawsuit reportedly said.
“When Coach Strauss made his way through the locker room, he
confronted the two and asked why the lights were off. Gordon
made excuses claiming they were closing up and leaving,” CBS LA
reported, citing legal papers.
Williams told the news station that coaches joked about the
trainer’s actions and dubbed them “Tiffany’s special treatment.”
Strauss-Gordon’s alleged inappropriate behavior connected to the
legal action took place from 2001 to 2007 with players whose
ages ranged from 14 to 17, the East Bay Times reported. The
lawsuit reportedly claims she had sexual intercourse with and
gave oral sex to the teen boys.
“The sheer volume of oral copulation and sexual intercourse
occurring between Gordon and the minor student-athletes was not
insignificant, and Defendants knew or should have known of the
blatant sexual misconduct occurring,” the lawsuit states,
according to the newspaper.
Strauss-Gordon additionally sexually pleasured coaches, the suit
alleges. One photo from 2005, which spread among players, even
showed her giving oral sex to a coach, the East Bay Times
reported, citing the lawsuit.
Harold Strauss died in 2019 after 30 years of coaching at
several different programs.
He was a larger-than-life figure and the most powerful person in
the Colton school district, one ex-player, who is part of the
lawsuit, told the East Bay Times.
Meanwhile, the Colton school district said it was “very
concerned” by the allegations raised in the lawsuit. Strauss-
Gordon, who is the athletic director at another school in the
district, has been placed on administrative leave, the school
district reportedly said.
“Although the current administrative team members were not in
leadership roles with the District 20 years ago, the district
leadership team is extremely concerned about the allegations
being made,” the school told the East Bay Times.
“Our commitment is always to the safety and well-being of our
students, families and staff, and we will work with local law
enforcement to protect our community and lend our support to any
victims in this case.”
An attorney representing Strauss-Gordon if she faces a criminal
charge stressed to the Los Angeles Times that no charges have
been filed against her.
Lawyer Paul Wallin said that after she’s been involved with
students for more than two decades, “no allegations of
wrongdoing [have] ever been brought in all that time by any
student.”
