I don’t see any evidence for the pedophile ring idea. On the contrary, I think Sandusky is a highly organized child molester who wouldn’t put himself at the mercy of fellow abusers who might rat him out. I also think the Second Mile head who just quit and his wife, the agency’s #2 who’s now in charge, are both guilty as sin of enabling Sandusky’s crimes, knowingly or via intentional blindness.
Some people knew something, I have no doubt. I suspect that former DA Ray Gricar, who disappeared and has been declared legally dead, knew quite a bit. He disappeared under mysterious circumstances back in 2005 and apparently he had the final say in not pushing forward with criminal charges in 1998.
