TC?

I had the misfortune of catching this story quickly. I believe I was the first person to post a link to the Grand Jury Presentment, way back on November 6 or 7.

You would be stunned at how tightly this tapestry of grotesquery is woven. Did you realize that the Centre County District Attorney initially referred this to the State because his wife's brother is Sandusky's adopted son? That two of the foster kids living with Sandusky once tried to commit suicide, but politically Sandusky was allowed to legally adopt the boy despite a written report that the foster parenting probation offer had "some serious concerns about the juvenile's safety and his current progress in placement with the Sandusky family"?

That even after Sandusky was forced out, his retirement didn't become effective until after the 1999 season and that, during that season, Sandusky was allowed to bring a fourteen year-old 'date' with him (Victim #4) to the official Penn State football team sleepovers at Toftrees Golf Resort before each home game, where Sandusky and the boy sat at the coaches' table during the pregame banquets? And where Sandusky sexually abused the boy in the showers and rooms during those overnights? Or that Sandusky was permitted to take his date to the Alamo Bowl at the end of the 1999 season, where he sexually abused the boy (and is now under investigation by San Antonio police)? That Sandusky was allowed to hold sleepover athletic camps on Penn State's other campus up until 2008, years after the rape of the preteen boy in the Penn State football locker room showers? That The Second Mile's records from 2000-2003 have been removed from their warehoused location and are missing?That the grand jury determined that the same man, Wendell Courtney, represented both Penn State and The Second Mile during the 1998 investigation?

Nine screenwriters couldn't make this stuff up.

Wow. I expect that next we’ll hear they let him get away with murder, to avoid bad press for the football program.

I saw the item saying that the San Antonio police were investigating, but I didn’t go to the source for the details. Some attention from law enforcement outside Pennsylvania is probably a good idea!
