Ex-Penn State Coach Sandusky Arrested on Sex Charges
Wall Street Journal ^ | November 5, 2011 | Darren Everson

Posted on 11/05/2011 9:34:57 PM PDT by Zakeet

A former Penn State defensive coordinator was accused Saturday of sexually abusing eight boys in a case that has rocked the Big Ten university.

Jerry Sandusky, 67 years old, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, the state attorney general's office said.

In addition, Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, 57, and Gary Schultz, 62, the school's vice president for finance and business, have been charged with perjury and failing to report what they knew about the allegations. Mr. Schultz's position includes oversight of the university's police department. They were expected to turn themselves in Monday in Harrisburg.

Mr. Sandusky had long been considered the heir apparent to Joe Paterno, the legendary Penn State coach who has the most victories in major-college football history. Mr. Paterno, 84, wasn't charged, authorities said, and the grand jury report didn't appear to implicate him in wrongdoing. When Mr. Paterno first learned of one report of abuse he immediately reported it to Mr. Curley, prosecutors said. Mr. Sandusky was no longer coaching at the time and it isn't clear whether Mr. Paterno followed up with Mr. Curley.

Mr. Sandusky retired in 1999 but continued to work with at-risk children through the nonprofit Second Mile organization he founded in 1977. He was charged with multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of a child, indecent assault and unlawful contact with a minor, as well as single counts of aggravated indecent assault and attempted indecent assault.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".... "

Homosexuals of both sexes are notoriously attracted to underage youths and children. Ever heard of the “Vagina Monologues”? Famous “Play” that toured at college campuses and other like venues some years back?

Featured a sex scene between a grown women and IIRC a 12 year old girl. I never saw it, of course (puke) but read about it.

Apparently President Spanier has an interesting academic background, too.

“Spanier was also an author of a study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior concerning the practice of mate swapping, or “swinging”.[4]” from his wikipedia page.


OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least one third or so of all child molestation is same sex.

Homosexuals are at most 2% of the population.

End of story.

I say AMEN brother, and I also want to know where the NCAA was? All these sports organizations obey the NCAA and yet now that this abuse is uncovered no one is going above the local people. I think they need to round up entire upper echelons of the NCAA.

You know the old proverb, “A fish rots from the head”, stop pretending this is an isolated incident and go straight to the head pedophile at the NCAA !!!!

I smell a rat. I think this guy is going to accuse Cain of hitting on him, and that’s what led to his messed up life.

I’ll be VERY INTERESTED to see how Cain explains this one away...

Super-coach Joe Paterno recognized his market changed and thus he changed. Universities today teach moral insanity and that sexual perversions are preferable ways of being. So what was Joe to do?

He embraced it. He still produced high caliber scholar-athletes but the things they were being scholarly about changed.

Consider the in time frame editorial take on the umbrage now clearly deserved on a PSU Sex Faire based on such immature, dismal and rotten attitudes towards sex:

In February 2001, [PA State Representative] Lawless gained nationwide media attention when he began an effort to withhold state funding for Penn State University because of "Sex Faire," a student event featuring information on cervical cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, and safe sex practices that he labeled "classless acts of debauchery." The event also had games such as "orgasm bingo" and an "erotic-foods-guaranteed-to-turn-you-on" table. Lawless and a video crew attended the event, where he filmed tables with literature he labeled pornographic and "gingerbread men and women with artful icing." During the university's annual budget hearing, Lawless and several other legislators grilled Penn State President Graham Spanier on the event. During the 4 hour hearing, Lawless played the much-hyped 5 minute tape that he made at the event, causing several legislators to remark it its relative tameness. State Rep. Dan Frankel told the Pittsburgh Post Gazette "No, I wasn't offended. You can find worse things in advertisements in some mainstream publications." State Rep. Babette Josephs said "I was very underwhelmed. This is what it was all about?," blaming the controversy on "somebody, it seems to me, with a problem in his personality and it gets played out because he is in a position of power." In a contentious moment, Lawless told Spanier of a Penn State student who made fun of his facial disfigurement in an e-mail message; Spanier responded by noting that the student had complained to a threatening call from Lawless. In the end, the legislature continued to fund Penn State University.

Sorry but i don’t think that was the case. After all, Paterno has remained a Republican and has stated he didn’t vote for Obama even though one of his sons did. If what you typed were true, if Paterno changed in order to go along with a perceived shift in the market, then it would have certainly been to his advantage to have embraced Obama and the democrat party since there can be little doubt that most of his players would have voted for Obama and more than that probably have a negative reaction to the word “Republican”.

I think it was the case, and I do NOT think it to be exculpatory. Paterno should be fired and charged. Most of the University staff northward of the football team should be fired, and some charged with criminal counts.

This wouldn’t happen if football coaches were allowed to marry (fixed it for ya) twelve year olds.

Here's the Grand Jury's Finding of Fact.

Paterno's complicity in the cover-up is not the only troubling aspect here---it's also abundantly clear that officials in the local school district enabled this predator by facilitating his access to the boys, even when they became suspicious about Sandusky's controlling behavior.

exactly!!!

Somehow I don’t think that some very important questions were asked, such as...

1) who was the boy?
2) should we find out who the boy is?
3) should we contact his parents?
4) since we gave Sandusky access to facilities, do we have moral obligation to help this boy?
5) hey! does anyone here think we oughta call the cops?

If Coach Knight can be forced out from an ongoing Hall of Fame career for something far less heinous than covering up pedophiles, then Coach Paterno can/should/will be retired in disgrace.

You Nittany alumni need to get with the program and get the old man OUT. Like now.

I also notice how they classify pedophilia as a disease but they won’t for homosexuality.

no one is going above the local people.

A local U.S. congressman announced he would make it a federal investigation. He is on the committee for school safety.

You have any idea of how mush dapravity is allowed to exist at Penn State? Do a web search on the “Penn State C@ntFest”. Replace the @ sign with a U. This so called festival goes on every year at Penn State. The campus is a stinking hedonist hell hole. It atracts the most vile debauched low life scum bags on the planet.
