Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who led the investigation, outlined the findings of the panel's 162-page report in prepared remarks coinciding with its release this morning. The report is available at www.philly.com/freeh "Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State," Freeh said. "The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized."  |

"After Mr. Curley consulted with Mr. Paterno, however, they changed the plan and decided not to make a report to the authorities," Freeh said. "Their failure to protect the February 9, 2001 child victim, or make attempts to identify him, created a dangerous situation for other unknown, unsuspecting young boys who were lured to the Penn State campus and football games by Sandusky and victimized repeatedly by him. "Further, they exposed this child to additional harm by alerting Sandusky, who was the only one who knew the child's identity, about what McQueary saw in the shower . . . " Among the report's allegations: - Spanier, Paterno, Curley and Schultz were aware of a 1998 investigation launched by campus police after they received a complaint of Sandusky showering with a young boy. They all told a grand jury last year that they did not recall that incident. In an e-mail to the others, Schultz asked "Is this opening of pandora's box? Other children?" - While Freeh's investigators found no evidence that Sandusky's retirement in 1999 was connected to the investigation a year earlier, he was awarded a compensation package that included a $168,000 lump sum payment and perks that found "ways for [Sandusky] to continue to work with young people" through Penn State. |
