Holy shit! What has gone on at Penn State for the last 15 years under the watchful eye of Joe Paterno , the Football Program, the Athletic Director and the Athletic Department, the janitorial staff, the Campus Police, security, assistant coaches, volunteers, players, local law enforcement, administrators and high-level University officials is so mind boggling, so hard to believe and so "gut wrenching " that it almost defies belief .
Just think about it. If any individual (out of a group of probably 100) had come forward, complained , stopped the encounters or simply went public at any time over the past 15 years it would have been " ballgame over for Jerry Sandusky " . Instead this serial pedophile was allowed to lurk in the showers at Penn State, at the practice facilities, on roadtrips at team hotels and God only knows where else sexually preying upon and assaulting young boys from his "Second Mile " organization . Does it get fu_in worse than this ?
Which leads me to my next question...How many people really knew about this dark, perverse secret playing out at this top University in "Happy Valley "? "Happy " for Jerry Sandusky maybe.
This scenario,of turning a blind eye, etc is eerily reminiscent of the Catholic Church's sex scandal. All about opportunity, lack of accountability , coverup and lack of guts . Perfect recipe for Jerry Sandusky .
At the end of the day , this scandal will shake Penn State to it's core. No one whose inaction contributed to prolonging Sandusky's ability to prey on young boys at the Penn State campus will escape punishment . Hopefully, a protocol will be developed to prevent this from ever happening again.
And Penn State , get ready to pay out a couple hundred million dollars to the victims! Only time will tell how many were actually involved. This nightmare is far from over.
