Of the child sexual assault charges against former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky, the fact that stands out most is that Joe Paterno, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz were aware of incidents as early as 2002. Curley testified to the grand jury that he "advised Sandusky that he was prohibited from bringing youth onto the Penn State campus from that point forward." Seven years later, in the summer of 2009, Sandusky was still hosting overnight camps for children as young as 9 at other Penn State schools.

A reader sends us the flyer for the Sandusky Football Camp, a four-day, three-night resident clinic offered at Penn State's Behrend campus in Erie, and other stops around the state including Penn State Harrisburg.

We are talking about an offense that is probably more severe than 1st degree murder in many peoples' eyes.


All of those people belong in the idiot category as well.

Joe Paterno should have gone to the police but people should really be pissed at Sandusky here. He's the fricking slimeball

Where do I get it? The comment was maid that he couldn't go to the police because he had to deal with the football team. Did you even read the comment I was talking about?

had i been in Joe Pa's shoes i would have trusted the AD to do the right thing and go to the proper authorities. I am football coach, not some pedophile patriot trying to bring some perv to justice.


Sounds like the rationalization that a lot of people had in WWII. Its not my problem that this guy is killing all the jews. Someone else will handle it.

Yes I read it. Nowhere in there did it say that Penn State football is more important than the welfare of children. Those are dots you connected somehow.

I didn't note specific dates. But college football is 365/24/7 job. Especially at a huge football school like Penn State.


Who the frick cares if he has a big job. If the President of the United States had knowledge of this he should go to the police immediately.

Him passing the news to people above him is not turning his head. He has a football team to coach. A gameplan to write. Players to recruit.


Seems to me like he couldn't report this heinous crime to police because he was too busy being a football coach.

There you go again, comparing the Holocaust to a football coach reporting his assistant coach was diddling kids.

Try not putting words in other people's mouths. Just give your opinion and stop telling other people what they're really trying to say.

But he DID report the heinous crime! You're not really this stupid are you? Should he have just executed Sandusky? Is there anything short of that that you'd be happy with?

thats irrelevant. He is only being targeted because he is an icon and the face of that program.


I can see that. This sounds bad, but Joe Pa seems to be a good guy, so I want to see some insanely hard evidence in place before I smear the shite out of him.

I'm comparing people doing nothing to stop atrocities. I cant believe people are defending him. He knowingly allowed a pedophile to continue his actions.

Sorry reporting it to the AD is not enough. Its just not. This isn't a recruiting violation. The police should have been his first call. Anything short of that is disgusting.

My problem with this situation is that he was still letting this go on years after the incident happened.

He knew that Sandusky was a sexual predator when he forced him into retirement at 55.
