I can't stop thinking about this case. The number of "men" who knew about Sandusky's criminal acts against children is staggering. Not one of these "men" alerted authorities about Sandusky's abuse. I believe they were in full cover-up mode-worried about Penn State's reputation and their own jobs and salaries.

"One of the most compelling and disturbing pieces of testimony in this investigation came from an eyewitness to a late-night sexual assault that allegedly occurred in March of 2002, in the locker room of the Lasch Football Building on the University Park Campus," Kelly said. "Hearing what sounded like sexual activity in the showers of a building that was supposed to be empty, a graduate assistant reportedly observed Sandusky sexually assaulting a naked boy who appeared to be about 10 years old."
The grand jury also noted that the 1998 report involving Sandusky and boys in the showers was reviewed by University Police and Child Protective Services, with the blessing of Wendell Courtney, who at the time served as University Counsel and was (and remains) counsel to The Second Mile - though no criminal charges were ever pursued.So this activity was reported in 1998, and CPS didn't press charges?
The grand jury eventually identified a total of eight young men who were the targets of similar sexual advances or assaults by Sandusky, starting in 1994 and continuing through 2009. All of the victims first encountered Sandusky through Second Mile activities.

Sandusky hurt a number of young boys and was allowed to continue doing it for years after he could have been stopped. It is hard to believe that this many people knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it.
