Penn St. football sexual abuse scandal | Page 17

LINK Eight victims, according to the grand jury findings of fact. Eight horror stories of allegations surrounding former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. PENN STATE ABUSE SCANDAL Like Victim 2. A Penn State graduate assistant coach shows up at the football locker room unexpectedly, and hears slapping noises from the shower. Here?s what the report said: As the graduate assistant put the sneakers in his locker, he looked into the shower. He saw a naked boy, Victim 2, whose age he estimated to be ten years old, with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky. The assistant fled in fear and confusion. Much the same way a janitor fled after allegedly witnessing Sandusky engaged in a sexual act in the showers with a young boy Victim 8, later described in the report as being between the ages of 11 and 13. They fled? They didnt help the boys? They didnt call the police? I hope this f**ker dies a painful death!

No, you are right, it's not strange he was around campus, it is downright inappropriate, negligent and criminal. After the 1st round of allegations that led to his retirement, he should have been banned and looked into. After the 2nd round of accusations in which there were witnesses, he should have been turned in to the police, not had his keys and kids on campus privileges taken away from him. Give me a break.

I agree with what Jay Bilas said on ESPN all taking away his keys said was just don't do it on campus.

Sickening, isn't it? They knew this in 2002!!!!

There were allegations around 98' when he retired. I also just read they went as far back as 1994'. This whole thing is just disgusting.

Just spoke to legal insider. Said liability in Penn State case is "easily $100 million."

Read NY Times story on mysterious death of District Attorney Ray Gricar, who was investigating Jerry Sandusky. Interesting to say the least.

I like what Strahan said (on his twitter)

"Joe Paterno should step aside now and be happy that that's all he has to do"

It really became more about wins than anything... and that's the sad part about this all. Paterno will be pushed out, Penn State's president is most certainly going to be fired. And now for failing to act on allegations of sexual abuse, the college itself may have violated a federal law. This is going to get a hell of a lot uglier in my opinion, and yeah...I'll place much blame on Paterno because he is that school (or was, not anymore)

He should just make a statement that he apologizes to the victims of Sandusky and had he known there would be future victims, he would have done more to prevent it. But that he relied on others to report and investigate the information he was given and is only now learning that those he relied on had failed. That he preaches character and attention to detail, and that he failed to display the attention to detail that he demanded from his players when he learned that Sandusky may have been molesting children. That he was shocked and disgusted to learn the full extent of Sandusky's alleged behavior and that this story should be used as an example that reports of child abuse should be reported to the proper authorities by anyone with knowledge of the abuse. That people should not trust others to report wrongdoing, but must take it upon themselves to take initiative in stopping horrendous behavior. That he wishes he could go back and change what happened, but that is not an option and that he is a human that made a grave mistake that had serious consequences. Instead, he must show that there are consequences in life for not paying attention to details and that resigns effective immediatley without pay. That his thoughts and prayers are with the victims.

he did say in his retirement announcement that one of his life's regrets was him not doing more... or something to that nature, I kind of feel like he's only feeling that way & actually retiring because all of this came to light. He would still be coaching until he died if this stuff didn't pop up in the news

Joe Paterno will never represent Penn State in any official capacity ever again. Pretty amazing.
