'Victim 1' triggered investigation of Jerry Sandusky


According to a state grand jury's report outlining alleged sexual abuses by Sandusky, there were trips to professional and college football games, a computer, clothes and cash. And then, the report says, Sandusky went from mentor to sexual predator, often attacking the boy in the basement bedroom of the coach's home or a school workout room long after coaches and other officials had gone.

In the cloaked parlance of the grand jury's report, the boy — who was at least 11 at the beginning of the attacks that would span nearly four years ending in 2009 — is known only as "Victim 1."

But Victim 1 was not actually Sandusky's first alleged victim. In the report, the boy is Victim 1 for a different reason: He spoke up, went to the police, and triggered the sex abuse investigation of Sandusky that has resulted in the removal of top Penn State officials and legendary football coach Joe Paterno.

1. Who is the school official who tried to dissuade the mother?
What the hell is wrong with these people?

2. Oh, yes
This. We need this scambag’s name. The sooner he ends up here or somewhere similar, the better. Then let’s see who will hire him again.

People like him really rattle my chain. Sandusky & friends are sick puppies, but this guy is trying to perform damage control. There’s no excuse for that. Do us a favor and exclude yourself from the gene pool. Moron.
