Sandusky was married, and I think still is.
No. In fact, his defenses were the "stud" teams. He made Penn State "Linebacker U."
LOTS of suspicious activities with young boys. Those that didn't know for sure were certainly suspicious.
Interestingly enough, a similar question was put to a former PSU player on ESPN a few days ago. The player was wide receiver O. J. McDuffie, who played for PSU from 1988 to 1992, I believe.
When asked a similar question as yours, he sort of hemmed and hawed, but then he added that though his teammates didn't discuss it, he had heard from "friends" in the community some "rumors" about Sandusky. The interviewer didn't press it further.
So to answer your question, it appears that as far back as the 1980's, there were people in the community who knew about Sandusky.
The further you dig, the worse this story gets.
From Wikipedia:
“Sandusky is married and has six adopted children.[23] He also took in foster children.[5]”

Someone find those kids, especially the foster kids, and talk to them and any friends they had in that household. NOW!!!!
Wondering if they were all male foster children. For some reason, foster children seem to be expendable. Just ask the ones who were put in homes with sex offenders.
