Penn St ex-coach, others charged in child sex case


STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP)—A former defensive coordinator who was integral for decades to Penn State’s success in football was accused Saturday of sexually abusing eight boys, and the school’s athletic director and an administrator were charged with perjury and failing to report what they knew about the allegations in a case that prosecutors said uncovered a years-long trail of a predator and those who protected him.

Former coach Jerry Sandusky, 67, of State College, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, the state attorney general’s office said. Athletic director Tim Curley, 57, and Penn State vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz, 62, both of Boalsburg, were expected to turn themselves in Monday in Harrisburg. Schultz’s position includes oversight of the university’s police department.

1. Too bad this is seen as a sports story rather than a story about powerful men totally losing sight

Fucking bastard founded a Non-Profit for at-risk children..so he can sexually abuse them? What a sick SOB.

<snip>
Sandusky, closely identified with the school’s reputation as a defensive powerhouse and a program that produced top-quality linebackers, retired in 1999 but continued to work with at-risk children through the nonprofit Second Mile organization he founded in 1977. He was charged with multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of a child, indecent assault and unlawful contact with a minor, as well as single counts of aggravated indecent assault and attempted indecent assault. A preliminary hearing for Sandusky is scheduled for Wednesday, but his lawyer told reporters it would likely be delayed.<snip>

7. The onus is definitely on the witness, but it's disappointing that Paterno didn't follow up.

6. Well, he wasns't indicted, but I have to say it shows pretty poorly that he didn't follow up with
the guy who reported it to him or ask around. It doesn't seem like something you'd just not talk about again, y'know?

8. Unless there was more of a conversation between them

Paterno could have talked him out of reporting somehow. Some kind of "I'll take care of it, but let's keep it quiet or it will cause a lot of trouble."
