You've already been given a link to the Grand Jury report. Here's the Grand Jury presentment. It contains much of the same information, but each of the documents contains information that the other doesn't. The report contains information heard from witnesses that isn't in the presentment; the presentment contains 'facts' the AD said it was going to show to the Grand Jury. Facts may have been presented to the Grand Jury that it didn't feel necessary to place in its report.

What's clear is that everybody associated with Penn State football found out in 1998 (or earlier) that Sandusky was showering with young boys in the football locker room showers. He wasn't prosecuted because apparently there wasn't evidence of molestation. The prosecutor, Gricar, disappeared. As in . . . disappeared.

But after that, Sandusky 'took an early retirement.'

Instead of being booted to the curb, Penn State - which although it sickens me, means, Joe Paterno - gave Sandusky emeritus status in the Athletic Department. An office in the athletic building. A phone. A parking space. An internet account. Discounts at the school store and on tuition for his kid. Keys to everything. And Sandusky kept hanging around . . . and bringing young boys with him from The Second Mile program. Sandusky was bringing them to pre-game banquets, even. And football practices. And showing them around the football locker room.

Ramcat? Think of the stereotype of the older pedophile. A creepy old man who lures kids with candy. The candy that Sandusky used was the Penn State football program.

And JoePa and everyone around the Penn State football program knew that Sandusky was using it as candy. Heck, they gave it to Sandusky to use when they gave him the emeritus status, the office, the keys, and the rights to sit at those pre-game banquets with the kids.

I'm sickened.
