Seems he turned them over to the AD and the school lied about it and covered it up. He still knew.

Who would've guessed Paterno quitting over crap like this.

This is perhaps the most disgusting cover-up incident since the catholic church.

They should shut down PSU football for a year for a thorough disinfection.

Kinda crazy that the dude's autobiography is entitled "Touched".

I'm not making that up.

Paterno knew in 98 when sandusky was first investigated for it.. for paterno to say everyone was fooled is a load of poo.. paterno should'va retired 20 years ago.

JoePa is a sad, creepy, pathetic old fvck who's held that program hostage for years even without this scandal tarnishing his image. Now we get to remember him as a pederast supporter to boot.

Here's a quick rule of thumb for all the college ADs out there wondering how you know your coach probably needs to leave:

He's 85, can't be on the sidelines because it's too dangerous AND IS AN ACCOMPLICE IN A FARM SYSTEM FOR MAN-BOY RAPE.

The whole thing is sick as fug, and everyone needs to go. I don't believe for one second that Paterno is clean from all of this. How do you not go to cops, the least you can do is make sure someone does.

If paterno doesn't step down over this PSU will burn to the ground.

What an inspiring interview. Who wouldn't want to play for that man.

This story just keeps getting more bizarre.

So in 1998 (or 99, just as the first accusations against Sandusky wre coming out) the then county DA who would have been responsible for mounting a case against Sandusky & PSU went missing near a river outside of Happy Valley. His county laptop was discovered a month later, hard drive removed. He was never found.

The guy they replaced him with? This is from the PSU student newspaper:

In 1998, a mother reported Sandusky was with her son in a shower on campus. The incident was reviewed by University Police and then-University counsel Wendell Courtney.

Courtney was, and still is, the lawyer for The Second Mile (Sandusky's Foundation). Former Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar decided there was not enough evidence to charge Sandusky after the incident.

Oh, it is bizarre, and revolting.

And if anyone thinks this is limited to 8 boys, they are crazy.

This guy was using PSU to funnel him boys since the frickin' late 70s.

It will only get more sordid.
