Eurweb | The case was broken by one of Sandusky’s victims, cited as “Victim Number 1” who reported Sandusky to authorities.
Reports are also leaking out that the eight victims may have been poor inner city black boys.
Edward Wyckoff Williams, a columnist for the Grio, points out that many sex abuse cases in recent years have involved high profile leaders and victims of sexual abuse, who have been young black males.
Within the grand jury’s findings was an incident in 2002, when assistant coach Mike McQueary, the team’s wide receiver coach, witnessed Sandusky allegedly raping a boy, estimated to be about 10 years old, in the shower of Penn State’s locker room.
According to the Washington Post, McQueary told Paterno—and Paterno told athletic director Tim Curley and senior vice president for finance Gary Schultz, who, in turn, reported it to university president Graham Spanier. None took allegations to police.
The Pennsylvania Statewide Investigating Grand Jury stated that Sandusky selected the eight boys from the populations served by the Second Mile Foundation.
Poor children became easy prey for Sandusky, who would start with mentoring, then move on to hosting the boys for overnights in the bedroom at his home and then initiate copulation, anal sex, according to the grand jury report.
The report indicates that Sandusky may have raped and molested at least 8 young boys between the ages of 10 and 15 from 1994-2009. He is free on $100,000 bail and is awaiting his first hearing on Dec. 7. He has been charged with 40 counts of abuse, but maintains his innocence, according to his attorney.
If convicted, he would face a maximum punishment of life in prison.
Unbelievably, Sandusky, 67, was twice investigated on charges of sexual assault. Neither investigations resulted in either organization terminating Sandusky’s employment or access to facilities.
Investigators are also looking into rumors that Sandusky may have been procuring at-risk youth for foundation donors. The foundation raises millions of dollars a year from corporate and individual donors in Pennsylvania.

Penn State is damn near a nation onto itself, almost like an Indian Reservation. Did you know it was exempt from the Commonwealth's open records law? The ousted president, Spanier, was responsible for lobbying for that exemption.
That ticking sound you hear is the clock counting down to when it no longer has that exemption. Obviously, there was no intention of ever stopping Sandusky, and they had a perfect situation to keep those skeletons in the closet.

I tell you what magne, by the time everything's said and done with this situation, it's going to manifest as the real-life version of what is doubtfully pointed at by disputed claims such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse and apologetics for the same such as these http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/the_memory_doctor/2010/05/the_recipe.html
and one wonders why folk perennially susceptible to the outlandish claims of the fiddypage book man in our communities all across America..., being in the belly of this beast is the historical and continuing equivalent of being in the darkest reaches of the darkest of Grimm's tales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphine_LaLaurie
Touching Tiny Lives Foundation and Jerry Sandusky's book Touched are both queerly named.
to say the least..., thanks for the comedy.gold TD!
