The Penn State Football Program Has A Lot Of Explaining To Do

Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was arrested yesterday and arraigned for the sexual abuse of eight youngsters, who he gained access to them through, The Second Mile, an at-risk youth program. The attorney general has filed 40 criminal counts against him on this case.

I read the grand jury presentment and it’s disgusting. According to the Attorney General, Sandusky was seen having anal sex with a ten-year old boy by a graduate assistant. The graduate assistant told Penn State head coach Joe Paterno and he told athletic director Tim Curley.

Here’s the way part of the Attorney General’s official document “Sandusky Grand Jury Presentment” read:

“Approximately one and half weeks later, the graduate assistant was called to a meeting with Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and Senior Vice President For Finance and Business Gary 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. 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.

The graduate assistant heard back from Curley a couple of weeks later. He was told that Sandusky’s keys to the locker room were taken away and that the incident was reported to The Second Mile. The Graduate Assistant was never questioned by University Police and no other entity conducted an investigation until he testified in Grand Jury in December 2010. The Grand Jury finds the Graduate Assistant’s testimony to be extremely credible.”

You can go to ProFootballTalk.com and read for yourself.

Here you’ve got Paterno, Curley and Schultz being told of Sandusky having anal sex with a 10-year old boy and nobody reported this the police. I wasn’t there and I can say what happened but this surely doesn’t look good.

Curley and Schultz are legally required to report any incidents of abuse to the University Police or the Pennsylvania State Police within 48 hours. Paterno isn’t legally obligated but how could he sleep knowing this hadn’t been reported.

Check out the document yourself and explain to me how any of them did what they should have done. Here you have a ten-year old boy being raped and nobody tells the police.

I don’t see how any of them can explain why they failed to make sure this incident was reported to the police.

The Grand Jury also found that another incident had been reported in the past with Sandusky and a youngster. He was found in a room wrestling with a boy.

The Penn State President Graham Spanier has come out with a statement of “unconditional support” for Curley and Schultz, who have been charged with perjury. Each of them told the Grand Jury that the Graduate Assistant didn’t report Sandusky having anal sex with the 10-year old. They said the Graduate Assistant said Sandusky simply had “inappropriate contact” with the youngster.

“I have known and worked daily with Tim and Gary for more than 16 years. I have complete confidence in how they have handled the allegations about a former University employee,” Spanier said. “Tim Curley and Gary Schultz operate at the highest levels of honesty, integrity and compassion. I am confident the record will show that these charges are groundless and that they conducted themselves professionally and appropriately. ”

There has always been a “keep your mouth closed” and “look the other way” up in State College from Local Politicians, POlice, to the Univesity Business and to the Athletics Dept.. I lived in Altoona,Pa for about 5 years (2000-2005) and there were many Scandals that were “swept under the carpet” as not to spoil the
“Lilly white,Clean Reputation” that Penn State has enjoyed for decades..
The truth of the matter is that PSU has had many issues from Students/Athletes getting into trouble with the law,due to abusing alcohol,drugs,weapons charges,rape,fights,academic issues, like any onther large Campus HAs, but the local State COllege Media is so chicken shit to report much of it due to the Pressure of the University Administrators and the head of the Football Program (Joe Paterno).. This stop with Sandusky is absolutley horrible and disgusting and heads will roll for sure as they should completely clean house and start anew… This is what happens when a School or a a Business gets so large in a particular community is that they believe they can control access to information and therefore control what gets reported and what doesn’t, since they are the only game in town.. (Would anyone ever go to State College,Pa if Penn State wasn’t there, of course not, there is nothing else there).. I hope they get to the bottom of this and that all persons involved or that knew about it go to jail for this is so disgusting to even think about abusing young boys… Just like the Catholic Priests Scandals that have occurred the last 20 years.. Once these reports starting comign out, I refuse to step inside of any Catholic Church, and here it is later and the Pope/Catholic Chuch Administrators still refuse to acknowledge any wrong doing or take any accountability or repsonsibility… These People and Organaizations are led by hyprocritical, two-faced, ego-maniacs if you asked me and They won’t see a dime of support from me..

Absolutely vile, appalling, disgusting, & evil. There is no excuse making, or reasons to waste the tax payers $$$, on people like this. He should be castrated, & sent directly to jail, with a life term, no parole. Child molesters, can’t be trusted, or rehabilitated. IMHO, they are the scum of the scum, the feces of the feces! This is another example, of how out of touch, Paterno is. Please retire, & go away. If I was him, & nothing was being done by my superiors, I would have went straight to the cops. This whole thing is a cover-up. NO DOUBT!

Paul, a female family member of mine, was a Secretary for the athletics dept for the early 2000’s. She was constantly sexually harrassed, by a un-named person. She reported it many times, & nothing was done. She didn’t do anything about it, & quit rather to have to deal with it. So nothing surprises me about PSU.

why is paterno
getting a pass or worse being lauded, he was on notice with eyewitness account of a felony and he doesn’t call police, are you kidding me, if this graduate assistant told Paterno he witnessed paternos daughter being raped do you think he would shelve it by reporting to the higher ups?, he would have called police, Paterno should step down in disgrace.

“G” wake up….this goes on in high places throughout all these high satanic rings…pedo’s are in high positions ritually taking young boys innocence.

Why do think there’s underprivledged foundations? These are pools of children the elite pick from to rape and sacrifice, and they’ll cut a nice fat check to the administrators of these kidnap camps.

See, this is what they result to now there’s no slaves they can voluntarily abuse.

The bad thing about this is he’ll get a slap on the wrist and protection in a cushy fed penthouse if found guilty. But I doubt he’ll be convicted based on the possibility he’ll out others who are in it.

This is a normal practice in these freak roman societies.

Why do you think these stars are adopting kids?

This is big in Europe and it happens every day in Catholic organizations and Elite Fratenities for those who run our country.

A Satanic Wicked Society.

apparently more outrage against pryor for hawking NCAA stuff for tats because god forbid you cheat the NCAA out of money, but an innocent child getting raped in your gym is no big deal

Songs, & I thought I was a big conspiracy theorist. You make many valid points, that most people don’t want to believe, or turn a blind eye towards. The $$$ families & secret societies, run this world, not politicians. They’re just puppets to the real puppet masters.
Families-Rockefeller, Morgan, Ford, etc.
Secret societies- Freemasons, Skull & Bones, Bilderberg group, Illuminati, etc. Believe it. Go watch Jesse Ventura’s conspiracy theory & then see how you feel. It’s a scary premise to think about.

Those who investigated Jerry Sandusky in 1994 and those who cover-up the allegations, and those who allowed him to continue with the youth program, are high ranking Freemasons. Jerry Sandusky sexual activities are typical Freemason practices.
