Sandusky not only ran a huge children’s charity but he also had several foster and adopted children (in other words, he “groomed” the town and authorities to seen him with young boys).
Louis Freeh has been credibly accused of heading a massive cover up of his own during his time as Director of the FBI and has had the results of previous investigations reversed.
Louis Freeh held a press conference less than an hour after releasing a 267 page report and has never answered questions since.
Freeh bizarrely/hypocritically praised the Penn State janitors who chose not to report allegation of oral sex against Sandusky, all because they implausibly claimed, without a shred of evidence, that they fear Paterno would fire them if they came forward with an allegation against an ex assistant Paterno wasn't personally close to (at his press conference Freeh also appeared to not realize that there was only one witness to that event and that his people could not have interviewed this person because he has dementia).
Mark Emmert, the President of the NCAA, unbelievably told Franco Harris that Joe Paterno is not mentioned in, or punished by, the consent decree in the Penn State case, which is patently absurd.
The Paterno press conference the day before he was fired (sending the media into a feeding frenzy) was not cancelled by Penn State but by anti Paterno BOT member John Surma.
Sports Illustrated had exactly zero straight news articles about the scandal they would later call “the worst in college sports history” in their first edition after story broke (that edition went to bed about 48 hours after the initial news report).
The high school football coach of Victim 1, which Sports Illustrated called a “hero,” a year later ran away from ABC News asking questions about why he had given Sandusky access to the boy and not believed his story of abuse.
Victim 1 (who is by far the most credible and important victim) and his mother clearly blame the high school and not Penn State or Paterno.
Gary Schultz, who was brought in to interview McQueary, oversaw the campus police, which is the real police force in charge of that jurisdiction (interestingly, McQueary claimed that he thought of Schultz as “the police,” but he based that assessment on an incident he saw on campus which occurred well AFTER the Sandusky shower episode).
Governor Tom Corbett was Attorney General when the Sandusky investigation began (almost 3 years before indictment) and he took hundreds of thousands in campaign contributions from sources connected to the Second Mile, which got a large state grant just after he was elected.
Penn State informed Sandusky’s employer, the Second Mile charity, of the McQueary episode and it is still possible that child welfare was also informed.
ESPN repeatedly claimed Paterno/Penn State should have gone to the “police” and yet kept an incriminating tape in Bernie Fine/Syracuse (where a huge portion of ESPN employees went to school) case unreported for many years.
