Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE 2* Sandusky Arrested Again

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury in Sandusky investigation

Again, the parallels between this and what happened in the Catholic Church are stunning -- and very disturbing.

Not only the crime committed, either.

Untold number of parishioners, victim family members, and priests "did what they were supposed to" and reported their suspicions of abuse to the next highest authority within the church bureaucracy.

Instead of the police.

How many more victims suffered because of those decisions? Because of the decisions involving Sandusky's crimes?

It's brutal to think about.

Also: In the 23-page grand jury report, it mentions that one of the victims was photographed in SI as part of a feature story on Sandusky. I hope an editor at SI has had the foresight to remove that photo from the website so as not to unwittingly identify the victim of sexual assault.

Also of interest (and pretty chilling in hindsight) are the letters in the following issue http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1018192/3/index.htm

Although there is a letter published from someone whose life was positively impacted by Second Chance.

Also, I've seen Baylor mentioned a couple of times. Every time it comes up I think about what a raw deal Abar Rouse got.

I always thought Paterno was a douche. What a disgrace.

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury in Sandusky investigation

I read an ESPN story on Rouse a couple of years ago. They quoted several head coaches (even Krzyzewski, I believe) that said Rouse's job there was to keep his mouth shut, and that, even though he may have done the right thing, they wouldn't hire Rouse because they "couldn't trust him."

Saw this in today's round of stories ... Hadn't seen it before ...
Statement from Second Mile ...

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury in Sandusky investigation

Joe, quoted this morning in USAT:

"If this is true, we were all fooled, along with scores of professionals
trained in such things. and we grieve for the victims and their families."

But the cat was already out of the bag.

Disingenuous, self-serving douchery.

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury in Sandusky investigation

From the wire story on ESPN: "The first case to come to light was a boy who met Sandusky when he was 11 or 12, the grand jury said. The boy received expensive gifts and trips to sports events from Sandusky, and physical contact began during his overnight stays at Sandusky's home, jurors said. Eventually, the boy's mother reported the allegations of sexual assault to his high school, and Sandusky was banned from the child's school district . . . "

Just wondering, why didn't the mother call the cops?

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury in Sandusky investigation

Do we know no one called the cops?

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury in Sandusky investigation

So his kid wrote that bullshit press release? Seriously, what the hell was Paterno thinking? His own GJ testimony refutes part of that statement. Anybody who thinks he has "bosses" at PSU need simply read that litter box of words. Paterno obviously doesn't even have to get their approval on public statements. He has no superiors.
