What I've heard is that he was told of an accusation against Sundisky by the Graduate Assistant and the Graduate Assistant's father. Paterno went to Campus Security who apparently did nothing.

It's like there is a rule about calling police, you need to have your supervisors call police and Paterno did what he was supposed to do, tell his boss.

The graduate assistant is now the WR coach, he should be fired because he first saw this and he goes to his dad? Really? His dad doesn't do anything but tells Paterno the next day? I think the dad was friends with Sundisky so there might be some bias there.

Thanks so much for explaining that, that's pretty much what i heard too. It just amazes me how these things always happen, and how easily people turn on you just based on secondhand information. So many great people devoted their lives to such great things, and it seems like in the end, almost always, someone disgraces them, tarnishing their reputation forever. Some rightfully so, but many, wrongfully so.

Thanks again for taking the time to explain that. i support him even more now!!

Paterno is not like other coaches.He was really the boss. He was Penn St. He didn't report it to security. He didn't go to the police. He reported it to the Athletic Director and then wiped his hands of it. He had more power than the Athletic Director. He was told what had happened in 2002 and allowed this pervert to stay on the campus and bring the small children with him. If he wanted him gone, then he would have been.

I watched all this unfold last night. It was on all the local channels down here too. It was surreal.

Penn State Scandal: Rumor Claims Sandusky “Pimped Out” Boys to Rich Donors

Just when you thought the Penn State child sex-abuse scandal couldn't possibly get any worse, we may have just scratched the surface. Joe Paterno being fired could be just the start of arguably the biggest downfall in the history of college athletics.

Pittsburgh radio personality Mark Madden, who penned a column for the Beaver County Times back in April of this year named "Sandusky a State secret," a column which foreshadowed the recent scandal which has absolutely gutted those of us in the Penn State family, was a guest on the Dennis & Callahan Morning Show on WEEI sports talk radio out of Boston on Thursday morning. During his appearance, Madden, who has been mostly right regarding this issue from the very start, dropped what can only be called a bombshell, an announcement which could mean far more than the end of Joe Paterno's career.

Madden stated that two "prominent columnists" are currently investigating a rumor that Jerry Sandusky's Second Mile Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed to serve underprivileged youths, was "pimping out young boys to rich (Penn State) donors." Madden went on to say that Jerry Sandusky was told by those running the show at Penn State football that Sandusky had to retire after allegations made in 1998 that the defensive coordinator was guilty of "improper conduct with an underage male." Sandusky, thought by some to be Joe Paterno's successor at the time, abruptly and somewhat shockingly retired from coaching in 1999.

It actually gets worse. Madden went on to say "When Sandusky quit, everybody knew; not just at Penn State. It was a very poorly kept secret around college football, in general. That is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55, young for a coach." Madden also called the Second Mile Foundation "the perfect cover" for Sandusky's scheme.

I want to be absolutely clear about a few things. These reports, as of the writing of this piece, are coming only from Mark Madden, and they are currently only rumors and speculation. With that said, Mark Madden has been mostly correct about a grand jury investigation which was sealed until very recently. I'm not suggesting that I 100 percent believe Madden to be correct. I'm certainly not ignoring a word he's saying regarding the Sandusky case at this point.

Late Wednesday evening after Joe Paterno was fired by Penn State, an "in the know" individual told me that this story was going to get uglier, and that there were, at the very least, "dozens of more victims." My absolute worst fear regarding the issue is what Mark Madden spoke on Thursday morning. It's been widely reported that the US Department of Education is currently investigating Penn State. Are they going to find that Jerry Sandusky was running a multimillion-dollar criminal organization, one which resulted in dozens, possibly hundreds (or even more), of youths being sexually abused? Will they find that higher-ups at Penn State, including now former football coach Joe Paterno, covered-up Sandusky's heinous crimes? All I know this morning is that, after the worst week of my Penn State life, I don't know if anything would shock me.

What pisses me off the most is this...

The McQueer guy, he saw it... What does he do? He runs to his daddy then they go see Paterno the next day.

Really? Well, it's kinda complicated. McQueer and his dad knew the rapist so they probably just didn't have the balls to call the police.

But I seem to remember the police were called once as Sandusky, the accuser with his mom were in the room with the police. I'll have to find that.

EDIT: Here it is. THERE MAYBE GRAPHIC INFO IN THE REPORT.

if even ONE child was molested after Joe Paterno (or ANY of the other people who were aware of what this guy was doing) could have stopped it by reporting it to the police, then he deserves what he gets.

- if he helped to cover this up and let this guy continue to molest kids he should be lucky not to end up in jail.

It's scary to see just how far this cover-up has gone, with Sandusky's charity organization being used as a front, and now allegations that he may have done the same thing in Texas.

Regardless, if Paterno knew about this and did nothing, he deserves what he gets. If a minor gets attacked in this manner and someone saw it, they should report it to the police regardless of reputation.

Joe Paterno doesn't have a case. Penn St. had to fire him. Paterno's lucky if he doesn't get sued himself. He had knowledge of at least one incident and probably more. There were rumors about Sandusy going back until at least the 1990's and Paterno didn't do anything about it. I don't get all the love for this man.

i don't understand your logic with the crime/career success connection; if someone raped you would you forgive them if they had several bowling trophies? :confused:

"If a person have had a long career in any field, he can't commit any wrongdoing, or he will be hated."

no. if a person commits a crime (or allows a particularily heinous one to be committed repeatedly), then they should probably expect people to not be pleased with them in general. - regardless of whether they have a career or not.

You're taking this personally, and you shouldn't. You're entitled to your opinion, even though most disagree. It doesn't mean that you're hated or not respected. I can understand your frustration. You like and admire Joe Paterno, and he's losing his career at the very end of his professional life.

Sandusky lawyer impregnated teenage girl: report

By TIM PERONE

The lawyer for accused pedophile and former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky reportedly impregnated a teenage girl more than a decade ago.

Joe Amendola, 63, was the attorney for Mary Iavasile’s emancipation petition from Sept. 3, 1996, which was filed just weeks before her 17th birthday, according to Centre County Courthouse documents obtained by iPad newspaper The Daily.

That’s approximately when Iavasile became pregnant with Amendola’s child, her mother, Janet Iavasile, told The Daily.



“At the time, I didn’t know the extent of the relationship,” said Janet.

Amendola seemed more like Mary’s “mentor,” she described the relationship between her teenage daughter and a man in his late 40s.

“She met him through the school district; she was interested in the law,” the mother said.

Amendola and Mary, who is now 32, later married in February 2003, according to court records.

They had a second child around that time but have since split up, Janet said, adding that she now has respect for Amendola.

“Joe is a very good father and has loved his two children very much, and that’s the most important thing for me right now,” she said.

Neither Amendola nor Mary Iavasile returned requests for comment.

Records show that the age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16 years old.

More likely: He knew about all of this and instructed everyone to cover it up in order to protect Penn State and his legacy.

This is so f-ed up that the Feds are going to uncover incredible amounts deliberate covering and enabling.

Dozens of people should be indicted.

Jerry Sandusky Arrested on New Child Sex Abuse Charges (Video)
12/7/2011
by THR Staff


Ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was arrested at his home in State College, PA and taken to jail again Wednesday on new charges of child sex abuse.

This brings the total count of victims alleging abuse from Sandusky to 10.



Two new male accusers (Victim 9 and Victim 10) came forward, with one (Victim 9) claiming Sandusky molested him numerous times in a basement bedroom when he was a child according to the grand jury, NBC News reports.

Four unmarked police cars arrived to take the former football coach into custody. Bail on the new charges was set at $250,000, which Sandusky was not able to pay in cash.

"As in many of the other cases identified to date, the contact with Sandusky allegedly fit a pattern of 'grooming' victims," Attorney General Linda Kelly said, reports NBC, "beginning with outings to football games and gifts; they later included physical contact that escalated to sexual assaults."









According to Victim 9, he first met Sandusky while attending his The Second Mile summer camp and was eventually invited to sleepovers at the coach's home.

The man testified in the grand jury report that Sandusky forced him into oral and anal sex while he was staying in the basement. On at least one occasion, the victim testified, he screamed for help, knowing that Sandusky's wife was upstairs, but no one ever came to help him.



"Additional sex acts were allegedly performed in the swimming pool and Jacuzzi of a hotel in the State College area, at times when the pool area was not occupied," said the report.

"I'm very disappointed by the latest tactics of the Attorney General's Office by going to Jerry's house unannounced without so much as giving me a courtesy phone call as his attorney," Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, said in a statement.

"I had to hear about it from the media. We've always offered to turn him in if there were new charges."



He later announced that they were "working on posting bail and anticipate the necessary documents and materials will be brought to the judge in the morning," adding that they hoped to free Sandusky by Thursday.

I saw a pic of Jerry Sandusky...and he looked like a pervert!

For Paterno...I think Penn State WANTED to push JoePa out the door even before the scandal, but Paterno should've defended the boy...not both!
