Penn State Child Molestation Case

IlliniJen said:
Watching the after-coverage of Penn State - Nebraska is sickening me. ESPN and Penn State have to stop acting like Paterno was the victim of anything but his own moral failure. Go cry somewhere else where we don't have to see the pathetic display of the "Poor Joe Paterno Show."

Yeah, I watched the game and got sick of the whole "We are Penn State" chants. Nobody in that university is the victim here, so let's stop acting like it (not directed at you).

There HAS to be a better abbreviation for “assistant”
:kubepalm:




Haven’t read much of this thread, it makes me pissed off and sick to my stomach. What are the chances Sandusky does the right thing and puts a bullet in his head?

Bradley Contacts NFL Coach About Job
A source close to the Penn State football program informed me today that interim Penn State head football coach Tom Bradley has reached out to the head coach of an NFL team to inquire about future employment.

In the aftermath of Joe Paterno’s ouster earlier this week, Bradley was subsequently named caretaker of the disgraced football program. Since that change, the source indicated Bradley has personally contacted Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell about attaining a job in the future.

Penn State supporters continue to look like idiots

At Penn State’s stadium, profanity, scorn greet one father’s protest
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — In the middle of Curtin Road, John Matko held one handwritten sign in his right hand and rested another against his jeans. Two inches of black tape obscured Penn State’s logo on the 34-year-old father’s hat, as he tried to ignore the jeers, slaps and beer hurled at him.

“Put abused kids first,” one of Matko’s signs read. “Don’t be fooled, they all knew. Tom Bradley, everyone must go.”

Penn State's Beaver Stadium loomed 30 yards away, rumbling with the first roars of Saturday’s game with Nebraska. The sea of blue-clad supporters wearing gray fedoras and camouflage hunting jackets and “This is JoePa’s house” T-shirts parted around Matko.

“That is such [expletive]!” one young woman screamed at him after glancing at the signs. “Who the [expletive] do you think you are?”

Eyes hidden by blue aviator sunglasses, Matko didn’t respond.

The night before, thousands of students held candles and sang Coldplay’s “Fix You” a capella in front of Old Main to support victims of sexual abuse. They wanted to show a different side to Penn State than the 40 charges of child sexual abuse against ex-football assistant Jerry Sandusky or the riots late Wednesday after the university fired iconic coach Joe Paterno for his role in the cover-up.

Under Saturday’s cloudless sky, Curtin Street revealed something else.

A beer showered Matko. One man slapped his stomach. Another called him a “[expletive].”
Click to expand...
“The kids are what this day is about, not who wins or loses,” the sign resting against his jeans read. “Or who lost their job and why. Honor the abused kids by cancelling the game and the season now.”

A passer-by kicked it.

“You’re going to get your [expletive] kicked, man,” a man bellowed.

“That’s [expletive], guy,” another said.

Abuse flew at Matko from young and old, students and alumni, men and women. No one intervened. No one spoke out against the abuse. Over the course of an hour, a lone man stopped, read the sign and said, “I agree.” Those two words were swallowed by the profanity and threats by dozens of others during the hour.

“The world is here. The world wasn’t at the vigil,” Matko said. “I still can’t believe this game is being played. People are telling me the game is going to generate revenue for the kids. That’s the point. We can’t separate revenue, money from football. That’s part of the reason why we’re in this mess.

“I feel so betrayed. … I can’t believe the guys covered it up. It’s disturbing and it’s not over.”

Matko didn’t preach at passers-by. The signs said enough, two voices in a wilderness of blue.

“What a [expletive] *****, man,” shouted one fan. “Get out of here.”

A woman, clad in blue like the rest, launched a finger-wagging, tirade inches from Matko’s face. Two men led her away.

A burly man wearing a “JoePa” T-shirt strode up, wrestled away the sign urging abused kids be put first from Matko’s right hand and slammed it to the ground.

After reading the signs, another woman glowered at Matko.

“This is in bad taste,” she said.

One bystander wondered how long until Matko was punched.

Unfortunately for Penn State (or State Penn) the student body in numbers, speak loudly, and reminds us all why they are still at an institution to learn in the first place...lol.

I suspect many of those student Paterno backers will look on their stance one day down the line from an historic perspective and regret their thoughts as well as their actions at the time. We all do. This is my hope anyway.

*Is it "an historic" or "a historic?" That always gets me.* :D

Then that means you pronounce the 'h' in historic, so you should use 'a' in front of historic.

On a similar note, I have a pet peeve with the pronunciation of the word Houston. I cringe when I hear it pronounced Youston.

It's all about 'Penn State' to these people. Forget the victims, forget that the Athletic Director, Head Coach, Assistant Coach all hid child molestation, because "we are Penn State". This one comment pretty much sums it all up for me:

“Not now, man,” one student said, shaking his head. “This is about the football players.”

Lol, yeah, that is my head scratcher. "A historic" just sounds wrong, but the consonant begs to differ.
 
wow things keep getting crazy the new Head Coach Tom Bradley used to live with McQueary. Theres no way Brasley didnt know.

RT @Ben_Jones88: You think the Sandusky story is mixed up already, just wait til somebody realizes McQueary used to live with Tom Bradley
 
There will be dozens of multi-million dollar lawsuits and I'm thinking that the civil lawsuits stemming from all this could bankrupt Penn St.

So what's that? A couple hundred more kids put at risk for a decade because of systematic indifference and coverup?

I guess the "they did the bare minimum required by law" crowd find that an acceptable risk.

Funny thing is... that same kind of aura sums up the Texas Longhorns community. It's a college town sort of thing. I'm still stunned by the depravity that went on within the Penn State community starting with McQeary and Joe Paterno. The program deserves the NCAA death penalty for this reason alone. Its alumni and boosters are out of control.

Best PR move Joe Paterno could make is to fire the PR firm he just hired.

That's the ordinary Joe we know. 'Plain and Proud.' RT @MarkRaganCEO: Joe Paterno working with PR firm TMG strategies http://bit.ly/sPIchK



Wow he still dont get it. It aint about him its about the kids.

I think that same observation could be made by the local residents near any major football power. However, I wouldn't go too far here. While I might entertain that they are ALL guilty of cutting corners or downright cheating to win, I'd still like to believe that most programs have at least one good man or woman who would speak out against the crimes perpetrated and covered up at Penn State.

The fish stinks from the head. Had the leadership at Penn State not condoned the activity through inaction or not wanting to know, this would have been a crime that had been committed and punished a decade ago.
 
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...oe.Paterno.Big.Ten.ap/index.html?sct=cf_t2_a3

League commissioner Jim Delany said Monday that it is "inappropriate" to keep Paterno's name on the trophy that will be awarded Dec. 3 after the first Big Ten title game.

Penn State fired Paterno, its longtime head coach, last week and investigations are under way into allegations of child sex-abuse involving a former assistant for the Nittany Lions.

The trophy had been named the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Amos Alonzo Stagg won 319 games in 57 years, most at the University of Chicago. Paterno's 409 wins are the most by a major college coach.

I wish in a sense this thread never had ever existed. What has allegedly happened is so disgusting, so awful and so disgraceful that I completely lost my stomach for the topic. It just made me want to grab a baseball bat and do to Sandusky's genitals what the legal system won't.

Look at this...

1) The law is written in a way so that groups can get away with covering up child abuse by exonerating people for not reporting this to the authorities. They are legally clear if they kick the problem upstairs. There is a moral breach here that puts people at odds with the "legal advice" they may be getting from their employers.

2) Sandusky didn't have to put up a nickle in bail money.

Jerry Sandusky Penn State Scandal: Judge Who Granted Bail Knew Jerry Sandusky From Charity
By Myles Collier
Reports surfaced that the judge who granted Jerry Sandusky’s unsecured bail volunteered for the former Penn State defensive coordinators’ nonprofit organization, The Second Mile.

Sandusky, 67, is charged with 21 felony counts for allegedly sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period.

The state Attorney General office originally requested bail set at $500,000 and required Sandusky to wear an electronic ankle monitor.

District Judge Leslie Dutchcot decided that the $100,000 unsecured bail was sufficient; she did however, order Sandusky to stay away from children. With unsecured bail, Sandusky will not have to pay any money unless he does not show up to court.

"These details have got to be reviewed. I'm sending off a letter to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Ron Castillo and asking him to look at what happened here, to look at the reports that are out there, and if, in fact, this district justice has a conflict of interest." State Rep. Mike Vereb to Fox News Affiliate WTXF-TV.

Some in the community were shocked that Sandusky received bail at all.

Costas interview

8804779-jerry-sandusky-to-bob-costas-in-exclusive-rock-center-interview-i-shouldnt-have-showered-with-those-kids
 
NY Times reporting ten more victims have come forward as well
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.

After that Costas interview, I don't think anyone could believe Sandusky is innocent. That was creepy as hell.

Costas asks "Are you sexually attracted to young boys?"
Sandusky's answer verbatim: "Am I sexually attracted to underage boys? Sexually attracted? I...you know...I enjoy young people. I love to be around them, um, I ...I...but no, I'm not sexually attracted to young boys."

This was too weird as was his lack of understanding that any parent generally does not shower/bath and horse play naked with his/her kids past the age of about 4 or 5 at the latest. Once a kid has figured out how to potty, shower, wash hair, adults tend to let them do it unless there is a specific life situation that demands they do different.
 
Joseph Amendola, Jerry Sandusky's Lawyer, Impregnated Teenage Girl

Having taken the job of representing Sandusky in a trial surely to be followed around the nation, Amendola has also opened his own past to public examination. Thus far, revelations have not established him as a paragon of sound judgment regarding young people. According The Daily, Amendola may have engaged in sexual relations with a minor during the 1990s.

According to Centre County Courthouse documents obtained by the iPad newspaper, the man representing Sandusky impregnated an under-age teen and later married her. Per the report, Mary Iavasile's mother alleged in an interview that he daughter gave birth to Amendola's child before she was 18 years old. He had reportedly served as her attorney when she was 17.

Since then, Janet said, she has learned to accept the unusual relationship.

“Joe is a very good father and has loved his two children very much, and that’s the most important thing for me right now,” she said.

Mary Amendola, who is now 32, did not return requests for comment, but later emailed The Daily claiming "all of the information is incorrect," though she would not provide details. Joe Amendola did not return multiple requests for comment.

Mary has tried to distance herself from the now notorious attorney — just yesterday, she changed her Facebook name to Mary Christmas. Her friends joked she should make it permanent.

But when Joe Amendola said in a televised interview last night that he would let Sandusky supervise his children, Mary Amendola instantly posted on her Facebook, "OMG did Joe just say that he would allow my kids to be alone with Jerry Sandusky?"
