Jerry Sandusky sat in president's box for Joe Paterno's 409th victory (Patriot News)

A week before his arrest on charges of child sex abuse, sources say Jerry Sandusky watched Joe Paterno notch his 409th victory from the president’s box at Beaver Stadium, sources said Wednesday.

A source close to the Penn State board of trustees told The Patriot-News that Sandusky was seen in the president’s box that day and later went to the Nitttany Lion Club.

Earlier Wednesday, former Nittany Lions linebacker Brandon Short said he had been told by two independent sources, whom he did not identify, that Sandusky was in the president’s box for the Penn State-Illinois game on Oct. 29.

The source, who requested anonymity out of fear of jeopardizing business relationships, also told The Patriot-News that Curley originally did not want to give Sandusky tickets to the game, but Sandusky’s wife, Dottie, was so insistent that he eventually relented.

Another story about who knew what, when: http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/report-sandusky-in-psu-presidents-box-2-mos-ago-29952

They are all lying, spinning, and complaining. The investigation by Louis Freeh answers to [university trustees] Ken Frazier, and Ron Tomalis, the state secretary of education. There goes that independent investigation.

They are all making this hot mess worse for PSU and themselves. It's not going away because once the trials start the story will be in the media spotlight. It will also get uglier due to the testimony.
