   COLTON, California -- Six former high school athletes are   
   accusing their former football trainer, Tiffany Strauss-Gordon,   
   of sexually abusing them while they were students at Colton High   
   School more than two decades ago.   
      
   "This was an open secret. The high school students at Colton and   
   their staff had a name for her sexual abuse of these children,"   
   said attorney Mike Reck with Jeff Anderson and Associates.   
      
   Reck and Jemma Dunn with Greenberg Gross are representing the   
   former players who have filed a lawsuit against Strauss-Gordon   
   and Colton Joint Unified School District.   
      
   In the lawsuit, it claims: "Gordon's sexual assaults occurred   
   throughout Colton High School's campus, including in the locker   
   room, training room, bathrooms, weight room, and football   
   trailer."   
      
   Strauss-Gordon is the daughter of legendary high school football   
   coach Harold Strauss, and was the team's trainer during her   
   father's tenure.   
      
   "If the roles were reversed the story would be very different.   
   Nobody would be questioning whether this was an assault. There   
   would be people in jail," Dunn said. "I mean there would be an   
   uproar."   
      
   During one encounter, the lawsuit states, that "Under the guise   
   of providing medical treatment and physical therapy, Gordon took   
   advantage of John Doe 7042 during treatments and sexually   
   assaulted him ...."   
      
   Attorneys for the players who are all identified as John Does   
   say the behavior was allowed and even referred to as getting   
   "Tiffany's special treatment."   
      
   "A perpetrator male or female should not be able to leverage   
   their position of power and their access to these children in   
   order to sexually assault them," Reck said.   
      
   Strauss-Gordon's attorney disputes the claims, questioning why   
   the alleged victims are only now stepping forward more than 20   
   years later, adding his client has not been criminally charged.   
      
   "So far, no criminal charges have been filed and hopefully that   
   means that the prosecutors do not think they have sufficient   
   evidence to convict her of a crime," said Gordon's attorney,   
   Paul Wallin.   
      
   The Colton Joint Unified School District released a statement   
   that reads in part, "The District has made itself, and will   
   continue to make itself, completely available to the Colton   
   Police Department. The District is committed to ensuring that   
   law enforcement has access to all of the facts and information   
   for their investigation."   
      
   Strauss-Gordon remains employed by the district as the athletic   
   director at Grand Terrace High School. She has been placed on   
   administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation,   
   which her attorney said by law the district had to do.   
      
   CORRECTION: This article previously described Strauss-Gordon as   
   an athletic trainer. The National Athletic Trainers' Association   
   (NATA) tells says Strauss-Gordon "is not a member of the   
   organization nor an athletic trainer (AT) by profession,   
   education or certification."
