Disgraced Former Penn State DC Jerry Sandusky (convicted child molester)

[Bucky32]

I'd have a couple questions for him.

"Coach, do you plan on using a lot of play-action, to get Nebraska's DBs looking the wrong direction on deep routes? Kind of like you and everyone involved with your program when that young child was raped within the four walls of your football building and you all knew it?"

 

[NFBuck]

People are going to blast him for that but realistically it's the only possible option for him in regards to an ongoing investigation. They really should explained that in the press release though.

It's going to be a disaster, because you know damn well the press is going to thunder away at it anyway.

Cant ask questions to a TV. #youtube :)

Gloating over this quagmire is pretty sick too, IMO.

Agreed. It's amazing how quickly many are to defend their brand, conversely it's also true when you flip it. This isn't about the Big Ten, or Penn St. it's much larger than that at this point. It's terrible to think that a person in his position would take advantage of such vulnerable kids. What a sick fuck.....

I agree with daddy and Max.


Story is just sick all around and I feel terrible for the boys (now young adults) molested by Sandusky. I was reading twitter and facebook today and some Ohio State people almost seemed happy this happened. I understand the last ~12 or so months have been brutal as a Buckeye fan, especially over something so petty as tattoos and it is nice to have the attention shift away from us.



What Sandusky did was terrible, obviously, and the cover-up/non-reporting by the PSU administration and coaches was almost just as bad. Disgusting how he was able to continue after being caught multiple times.


Pretty sick what kind of world we live in sometimes.

As an employee of an educational institution, coaches, even at the college level are mandated reporters. Failure to do so immediately is not only against the law but a heinous disregard for student and child safety.

Let's say Coach Sandusky is innocent of these allegations. If that were the case when he knew of the accusations, he should have immediately gone to the police and told them of these accusations. He could have told them that these were unfounded and false. He could have initiated the investigation by himself. However, failure to do so will always lead people to believe the accuser.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark or in this case State College, Pa.

I imagine that Paterno, Curley, and Schultz will try to dump on McQueary - "He said they were 'horsing around'. He never said anything about 'rape'."

From page 7 of the presentment:

Approximately one and a half weeks later, the graduate assistant was called to a meeting with Penn State Athletic Director Curley and Senior Vice President for Business and Finance Gary Schultz ("Schultz"). The graduate assistant reported to Curley and Schultz that he had witnessed what he believed to be Sandusky having anal sex with a boy in the Lasch Building showers. (my emphasis) Curley and Schultz assured the graduate assistant that they would look into it and determine what further action they would take. Paterno was not present for this meeting.

Paterno's statement yesterday (emphasis added):

"As my grand jury testimony stated, I was informed in 2002 by an assistant coach that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of our locker room facility. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the Grand Jury report."

I don't believe Paterno. Again on page 7 of the presentment:

Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistant's report at his home on Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley ("Curley"), Penn State Athletic Director and Paterno's immediate superior, to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy. (my emphasis)

 

[LordJeffBuck]

I don't believe Paterno. Again on page 7 of the presentment:

I don't believe Paterno, either. But clearly his "defense" will be "McQueary never told me how serious this was. If McQueary thought that something really bad had happened, then why did he come to me and not the police?"

 

[cincibuck]

I don't believe Paterno. Again on page 7 of the presentment:

Quote:"Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistant's report at his home on Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley ("Curley"), Penn State Athletic Director and Paterno's immediate superior, to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy. (my emphasis)"

Again, according to the PBS reporter, Joe stopped the grad student as soon as the report started to get graphic, and told him, "I don't need to hear that; take it up with the AD."

2. Disgusting as the report may be, failure to pass the information on to others responsible for such matters is only a misdemeanor.

 

[alexhortdog95]

Here's the problem of this entire situation....

Irregardless of what JoePa reported, irregardless of who he reported it to, irregardless of what they didn't do AFTER he reported it to them, the question will always be,

"What else did YOU do? This man had an office on your campus. What did YOU do to resolve the situation?"

 

[LightningRod]

I don't believe Paterno, either. But clearly his "defense" will be "McQueary never told me how serious this was. If McQueary thought that something really bad had happened, then why did he come to me and not the police?"

But McQueary did tell him about something of a sexual nature taking place in the locker room shower. Why didn't Joe ask a simple question, exactly what sexual type activity did you see? Why didn't Joe tell Mike to call police? As to why did Mike tell Paterno rather than calling police - he immediately called his dad, told his dad what happened, and the dad told Mike that he needed to tell Paterno because Paterno would make it right.

Tom Rinaldi mentioned this on M&M this morning:

Mothers of two of Jerry Sandusky's alleged victims lash out at Penn State officials' handling of scandal

He was the last victim, that we know of, to come forward.

But in many ways, he was the first.

He was one of the first with enough courage to say something. To stick around for three years while police and a grand jury talked to dozens of people and combed through thousands of documents.

To hang on emotionally.

To take a stand against a Goliath. A legend. A man that some saw as a god.

He was the first to be believed. Authorities even call him Victim One.

The mother of the Clinton County boy is telling her family story. It's a story that launched a three-year grand jury investigation that resulted in sexual assault charges against former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, allegedly involving eight boys.

"I'm very proud of him," the mother said of her son, on the brink of adulthood and at the heart of what some are calling the biggest scandal in college sports.

Some thoughts:

No way Sandusky's first time molesting a child was to do it in the shower room and sauna at PSU. That seems extremely bold and brazen, as any number of people could have walked in on them at any time. This sounds to me like something that he would have escalated to. I'm guessing he has been victimizing children for years, or even decades and that there are many, many other victims out there.

I'm guessing the Second Mile Org is a product of Sandusky's molesting ways and his molesting ways are not the product of the Second Mile Org. This is especially slimy to me, because it would prove intent and conspiracy. These things didn't just happen in the spur of the moment...

Joe Pa is lying. You're telling me that when McQueary told him about what he saw, JoePa buried his head in the sand and told him that he didn't want to know the details? No way. Anyone - who didn't already know what was going on and was trying to cover his own ass - would have demanded to know exactly what McQueary saw and would have been outraged by it and would have dealt with it appropriately.

McQueary is almost as big of a piece of shit as the rest of them. The only semi-commendable thing he did was to tell JoePa about it. Washing his hands of the situation after that is pathetic and inexcusable.

I hope there is a special place in hell for any and all of the parties involved who knew or suspected this was going on and chose not to do anything about it.

State Officials Blast Penn State in Sandusky Case
By PETE THAMEL

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - The Pennsylvania attorney general and the state police commissioner excoriated Penn State officials on Monday for failing over several years to alert the authorities to possible sexual abuse of young boys by a prominent football assistant.

They said the university employees who declined to report the incidents to the police put countless more children at risk of being abused by Jerry Sandusky, the longtime assistant who has been charged with sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year span, including during his tenure as an assistant at Penn State. Frank Noonan, the police commissioner who spent more than 30 years with the F.B.I. and the attorney general?s office, said the nature of the alleged incidents was unprecedented in his experience.

Even after Sandusky "made admissions about inappropriate contact in the shower room" in 1998 to the Penn State campus police, "Nothing happened," Noonan said. "Nothing stopped."

He said that janitors witnessed a sexual act in the football facility's showers two years later, and still "nothing changed, nothing stopped," because the janitors feared for their jobs and did not report the incident. Then, in 2002, according to prosecutors, another sex act involving Sandusky and a young boy was witnessed by a Penn State graduate assistant coach, who reported it to Coach Joe Paterno - yet the police still were not contacted.

"That's very unusual," Noonan said Monday at a news conference at the Capitol in Harrisburg where he and Linda Kelly, the attorney general, summarized the cases against Sandusky and two university officials. "I don't think I've ever been associated with a case where that type of eyewitness identification of sex acts taking place where the police weren't called. I don't think I've ever seen something like that before...
