Child Sex charges at Penn State
Child sex charges, possible cover-up rock Penn St
By GENARO C. ARMAS, Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — An explosive sex abuse scandal and possible cover-up rocked Happy Valley after former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, once considered Joe Paterno's heir apparent, was charged with sexually assaulting eight boys over a 15-year period. Among the allegations was that a graduate assistant saw Sandusky assault a boy in the shower at the Nittany Lions' practice center in 2002.

<snip>

The allegations against Sandusky, who started The Second Mile in 1977, range from sexual advances to touching to oral and anal sex. The young men testified before a state grand jury that they were in their early teens when some of the abuse occurred; there is evidence even younger children may have been victimized.

I was born and grew up in State College--lived there until I left for college at U of M. Mom, dad and both sisters are PSU grads--I'm the black sheep. In about 1965, as I was leaving for Ann Arbor, JoePa moved into the house directly across the street. My younger sister babysat for his family and was a HS classmate of Tim Curley at State College High. Last Fall, she and her son--who was considering attending PSU--sat in Curley's suite for a home football game. Mike McCreary is also an alum of State High.

These are good people--who just did the wrong thing. It's very hard to understand how it all happened but it did.

You can say a lot about JoePa--nepotism, arrogant, stayed way too long, etc. but the fact is he coached at a very high level for a long, long time and did it without the slightest hint of a scandal. And I doubt there has ever been another football coach who gave $5M to his school's library.

There is a lot of this story yet to come out. There are a lot of other young boys involved. Some big squeezes in SC will be pulled in as someone gave a Cadillac Escalade to the mom of one of the boys who was molested to keep him quiet--the boy wrecked the car. The Second Mile, a charity with a ton of good works that Sandusky founded, is going to be pulled in and investigated.

In 1998, a year before he left, PSU knew that this was going on. I'm told his pay was cut in half to force him out--this to a guy who was probably more responsible than anyone else for PSU's tremendous defenses and success on the field--but he wouldn't quit.

So the next year they forced him out. Joe attended his retirement dinner and spoke for less than a minute--for a guy who had been his key assistant forever.

There is just no way JoePa didn't know. As did Graham Spanier, and a whole lot of others.

But Sandusky was allowed to keep an office at PSU and had keys to many of the sports facilities. Why? Absolutely unbelievable.

I think they just wanted him to go away and hopefully stop abusing kids. But that's not the way this stuff works.

BTW, JoePa is still at PSU as he raises a ton of money annually from the older alums--they love the guy. And PSU wants to be in their wills. Supposedly, Joe has made it very clear that he stops campaigning for $ the minute he is no longer the head coach. And he wants a secure position for his son JayPa and knows he is gone the minute Joe leaves.

How could they all let this sick sh*t go on????

Has the world lost their minds? He should have been arrested the very first time anyone found out about it. At the first hint of it. This crap needs to stop with all the power mongers that abuse innocents - including the Catholic church.

Re: Child Sex charges at Penn State
I'm sure shit like this is happening in every city worldwide. If you really love your kid, raise him yourself, don't send him to a public school system or let him be involved in any activity you aren't participating in as well until he's 13 or older and can defend for himself. It amazes me how brainwashed parents are.

i live in oklahoma so geographically i root for both the sooners and the cowboys. but after fixing myself a vodka and pineapple juice i was actually talking to myself saying shit like "is this for real or am i imagining things?" i never disliked joe'pa but he stood for so much to so many people with his high graduation rate, moral standards etc, etc. but this is the most spiralling downfall of any sports figure i have ever heard of and its just going to get worse. its funny, the allegations at auburn, ohio state and lsu have NOTHING on this shit. its just so hard to believe you loons...

Re: Child Sex charges at Penn State
Paterno and the other administrators kept this quiet and didn't go to the police so they wouldnt lose their status, power and that all important alumni cash flow. This is very similar to the priests who were protected by their Catholic bishops. All a bunch of sick monsters. Paterno is guilty of not following through to get this guy off campus from 2002 until now. No excuse. He is lying to the grand jury by saying he didn't know the details. The janitor who was so distaught by what he saw back in 1998. This Sandusky was being protected to keep it quiet and to keep that alumni money coming in! All blood money. Children who were brought in through a charity for disadvantaged children started by this monster. And Sandusky's wife plays a part in these horrible crimes as well!! Children sleeping over many times throughtout the years! And she makes calls to one of the victims around the start of this investigation saying it is important that she speak with him. She needs to be in investigated and charged as well. Hang em high in the public square by their balls!!!

How are TOTALLY disingenuous ... what Joe - YOU'RE HONESTLY SAYING YOU DIDN'T ASK Mike what he saw in the shower? You have only 3 possible answers to that question: (1) you didn't WANT to know (2) you didn't CARE to know (3) you're a moron. We know you're not a moron, so that eliminates #3 - and 1 and 2 make you look like an enabling fool.

These are the options you could have done:
1. Call Sandusky to your house - and beat his a$$ - this guy was/is a life-long friend. You didn't think to pick up the phone and say, "what the blank is going on here??!!"
2. Call the authorities yourself - when you want something done, you have no qualms about breaking the chain of command. But alleged child rape? Nahhh...
3. Find out who the victim(s) were and make sure THEY were okay
4. Follow up on what you told your "bosses" (Curley and Schulz)
5. Reach out to officials at Second Mile
6. Launch your own investigation to make sure no one else was impacted by this man
7. Called the university president yourself
8. NOT recommended Sandusky for another coaching job (UVA)

LEGALLY, Joe, you are innocent - you "played by the rules" of law and did the bare minimum. Morally, ethically, and humanity-wise, you FAILED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. You enabled an 'allegedly' sick beast to continue his nefarious debasement of young, disadvantaged and therefore vulnerable INNOCENT CHILDREN.

When I come back for Homecoming - yes, I am a PSU grad, met my wife there - do I take pictures of my sons standing next to your statue????????

Yes, you did what you were had to do, but did you do what you were SUPPOSED to do? NOT EVEN A CLOSE CALL ... We thought you were different.

Great post, has even more meaning since it comes from an alum. Hope that other like minded alum follow through with calling for a thorough investigation and for those found to be involved to be removed.

Sadly, I think that before this is all done there may be many more victims and possibly more sickos involved. Sandusky's charity needs to be thoroughly investigated as well as all those involved who had one on one access to these children.
