Former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky has been charged with sexually abusing eight children, with something like a dozen more also claiming they were victimized. That's horrible. Powerful PSU figures appear to have attempted to cover up what they knew. That makes it even worse.
But if one rumor turns out to be true, this may become a story too awful to compare to any other.
There's been nothing reported by an investigative journalist or law enforcement official so far, but a handful of media members are talking about investigations into whether Sandusky may have shared some of his victims with other adult males.
From two days ago, here's Dan Bernstein of CBS Chicago:
@dan_bernstein FYI: names are being x-checked w/Sandusky's Second Mile, and there are other older adult men with "curious" relationships. Only the start.
Thursday morning, Mark Madden, a Pittsburgh radio host who wrote a story seven months ago envisioning Sandusky's downfall, went on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan Morning Show to discuss the scandal. At the 7:15 mark here, he's asked about the "next shoe to drop." Here are his remarks:
I can give you a rumor, and I can give you something I think might happen. I hear there's a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile foundation. And, hold on to your stomachs because this is gross, I'll use the only language that I can, that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to donors. This is being investigated by two prominent columnists as I speak.
Madden also speculates it'll be revealed that Sandusky was told to retire as part of a cover-up.
CBS Sports' Gregg Doyel tweeted the following later in the morning, appearing to cite a source besides Madden:
@greggdoyelcbs I'm told Penn's atty general has this sick Sandusky rumor on the radar. Warning, awful read http://t.co/Wy4uiuiD
We can hope none of this is true, but multiple outlets are saying it's being investigated. If it is, let's then hope investigators are able to find it never happened.
You make a VERY good point. So true. College towns are just like that.
Aw damn, it flew over my head. I normally would have got that one. I am laughing now - at myself.
I thought this type of sick activity only occurred on NBC's SVU show.
Well JoePa was on it if that is any comfort. The media says they are checking on the Second Mile. Let's hope someone does.
Really hope I’m wrong but my gut says we’re going to find a cesspool there.
His Wiki biography is interesting. Married 3 times -one adopted daughter (that would be the one who had him declared dead July 2011).
His brother committed suicide in 1996 - very similar surroundings.
Could be that the Gricar brothers were abused as children and Ray couldn’t handle what he found, who was involved and the extent of the depravity.
That would traumatize most normal parents and grandparents.
She called the HS to find out why Sandusky was taking her boy out of class.
The boy had broken down and was telling about the molestation. From there it got to the Grand Jury
From the mother:
“They told me to go home and think about what I wanted to do, and I was not happy,” she said. “They said I needed to think about how that would impact my son if I said something like that. I went home and got [my son] and we came to [Children and Youth Services] immediately.”
If she had followed the school officials recommendations, Sandusky would still be out raping. Disgusting.
They hope he will off himself so this will all go away and other wealthy big shots will not be revealed?
“Really hope I’m wrong but my gut says we’re going to find a cesspool there.”
We have already found a cesspool. See my #102.
>The sodomite lifestyle cannot be tolerated.<
.
You’re right. They should ban “gay pride” parades and abolish same-sex marriage.
“They hope he will off himself so this will all go away and other wealthy big shots will not be revealed?”
...or they will make him disappear like DA Gricar!
Wrong. The Texas state run orphanage system had this going on thirty and forty years ago. People didn't want to know. After it was dragged into the light of day and cleaned up...people forgot.
After this is cleaned up, it will be forgotten again as soon as people can manage to do so.
I agree but think it may go well beyond that - if it’s not shut down because you start stumbling into important and powerful people.
Checked the Second Mile website a couple of hours ago and it was still there. The list of boards members and some other areas had obviously been erased, but I was surprised the site was still available.
The current charges against Sandusky are but the tip of the iceberg, as it was with the Catholic priests of Massachusetts in 1992.
Pedophiles do not operate in a vacuum. They like to brag, and they like to share.
There is much more to come.
This guy was too bold in his actions, even after he knew he was seen.
IMO, it is an absolute disgrace that Sandusky was allowed to be released on only $100,000 bail. This POS should be in custody, period!
You can go back to 2001 on the Wayback Machine for the Second Mile website.

Yes, I noticed that as well, all of these guys need to go, there is a cult of corruption at Penn State.
