New Report Blames Penn State Leaders in Sex Abuse Case

A new report puts blame on Penn State leaders, including the late football coach Joe Paterno, for covering up Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of children for many years.
Former FBI director Louis Freeh has stated that the callous disregard for the victims by Penn State leaders was to protect a multimillion dollar football program. Freeh probed into the Sandusky scandal for eight-months and has singled out former university President Graham Spanier. He has stated that the entire programs failure to stop Sandusky allowed him to continue luring victims for over a decade.
“The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized,” Freeh said.
Sandusky, 68, was arrested in November for sexually abusing young boys. This came nearly 14 years after Penn State University officials had become aware of the allegations against the former assistant coach.
Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years and now faces up to 373 years in prison.
Hello Buckinghampost,
I just stumbled across this and, Pennsylvania Attorney General said Paterno did nothing wrong! They were going to him retire at the end of the season. Case closed. Now I hear they BOT fired him. \What gives?
Its not like Paterno raped those kids. He reported them to his higher ups. Its not like HE had a responsibility to call the police. Supposed he did, what would he have said. “Hey guys one of my graduate assistants said one of my coaches is having sex with a ten-year-boy in a university shower? The police would have laughed at him. What perv conducts his sex acts in a public place where he can be caught?
Tonight on the news I saw several newscasters get on their soap boxes and decry child molestation. We so do I, but to blame Paterno? Come on, get off your soap box and come down to earth. Paterno is a legend. If he had a reason to believe this was ACTUALLY HAPPENING, he would have called the police. Unfortunately he didn’t. In the same situation, I’d do the same thing. University kids are always pulling pranks and telling tall tales.
What do you think?
Catch you again soon!
