STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Close to 10 additional suspected victims have come forward to the authorities since the arrest of the former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky on Nov. 5 on 40 counts of sexually abusing young boys, according to people close to the investigation. The police are working to confirm the new allegations.
The news of additional accusations came on a day when Sandusky made his first extended public comments since his arrest, and the resignation of the chief executive of the Second Mile foundation, the charity founded by Sandusky, was made public. They were the latest developments in a case that has led to the ouster of several top university officials, including the football coach, Joe Paterno, and the president, Graham B. Spanier.

Right behind Sandusky I would presume. Someone should investigate any links between Sandusky and NAMBLA.
I really recommend to my fellow freepers - DON’T read the grand jury transcripts, you’ll be better off.
I haven’t read them, but was told by someone that did that it will make you physically ill.
Would YOU want your name dragged through the national media declaring you had been anally raped?
Sandusky is guilty but you know how this works - there will be people coming forward who never was in the presence of Sandusky.
“I really recommend to my fellow freepers... DON’T read the grand jury transcripts”.
I kindly disagree with you. The transcripts are sickening and will make your stomach turn. I grant you that. However, there are times in life when we have to look at evil right in the face and refuse to turn our heads. Is it ugly? Yes. Is it disturbing? Yes. However, if this is what is in our society right now... we have almost an obligation of sorts to read it. If you have kids or grandkids... one needs to be aware of everything that could possibly affect them. Just my opinion.
Exactly, like watching the videos of the jumpers from the WTC...people need to see the truth, lest the MSM frame the picture in such a way as to minimize the truth.
So now he’s worried about his job? If he had shown enough concern for the 10 year old as he did his job, his job would have been secure.
Then again, there is the fact that shortly after this incident in 2002, he apparently went from grad assistant to a coaching position so maybe it was his job he was thinking about back then after all. Or it could just be mere coincidence.....
Wendell Courtney knew about the 1998 incident...he has much to answer for.

Jerry Sandusky’s Lawyer
McQueary May Be a Liar
Jerry Sandusky’s lawyer says he thinks he found the boy who was allegedly raped in the shower that has become the flashpoint for the scandal, and the man — now in his 20’s — is saying it never happened.
Joe Amendola told Ann Curry on “Today” ... prosecutors have never given him the names of the accusers, but he believes he’s found the alleged victim, and if indeed it is him Mike McQueary is lying.
Amendola also concedes, “It is possible Jerry did this [molested kids]” and if he did he should be punished.

The meltdown at Penn State continues. the more that comes out the more things start to blurr
I read the transcript. The grand jury explicitly writes they find McQueary credible and the indictment specifies eight victims. However, I think the trial itself will prove to be a lot more of a gray area than the media lets on.
Certainly strange to read McQueary claiming to witness a man sexually assaulting a child and as an initial response he calls his dad to find out what to do, then he meets with Joe Paterno and then with the AD.
The reports portray this as clearcut child rape, but I just cannot wrap my head around McQueary relaying the incident in such a way to his father, Paterno, and Spanier and none of these people reacting in any way. Sandusky will forever be known for these accusations, but I don’t think the indictment will lead to a guaranteed legal conviction.
The fact no one said “Did you call the police? Let’s call the police.” leads me to believe McQueary relayed the incident differently to the Penn State staff than he did to the grand jury.
Of course not, but that’s not the point. Either this guy is a child molester or he is not.
Well it worked for Micheal so might as well give it a shot...
I read the grand jury report - 23 pages. it took just a few minutes.
My opinion is now based on testimony given on the penalty of perjury.
As disturbing the acts described were, I’m glad I did it.
The grand Jury report makes it very clear that Penn State officials (the AD and a VP) lied under oath to protect themselves, Penn State, and Sandusky.
I feel very sorry for Penn State fans - their leadership let them down. They have nothing to be proud of anymore in Penn State.
The victims, however, are not Penn State and its students. The victims are those children, now men, who were molested by Sandusky and a complicit Penn State administration.
I would be fine with PSU losing its accreditation and being prosecuted under RICO.
